Can I change my NON-OA visa to a marriage visa without leaving Thailand? I have been married to a Thai woman for 42 years. The reason why I want to switch to the marriage visa is because my international health insurance is not recognized by Thai immigration and I have heard that no health insurance is required for the marriage visa.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can change from a yearly extension of stay based on a NON-OA (retirement) visa to a yearly extension based on marriage to a Thai national without leaving Thailand. This involves changing the reason for your extension but not obtaining a new visa. Health insurance is not required when switching to the marriage extension.
