You can apply for a Non Immigrant O visa based on being married with a Thai National before you make your way into Thailand. With that visa you can 60 days after arrival apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay based on being married. Saves you applying for a Tourist Visa which only gives you 60 days on arrival, get all things sorted out for application for the visa, which gives you 90 days and 60 days later apply again for the Extension of Stay.

no, if the Immigration Office that servces the area where you live does not have the clearance to perform a conversion you have to leave the country and apply for a visa at a Thai Consulate.

Thanks Robert I'm aware i can do that get a visa in Australia but Im asking a General question if my immigration office is in Surin for example and they do not do the convertion would i still have a option of going to Buriram office or another office near by to get it converted.Troy *********
You must apply in the province you will be living in and they will ask you proof of it plus get you to draw a map from your home to the immigration office
