Answer summary
Yes, you can convert a 30-day visa to a Non-O visa in Udon Thani if you meet the necessary requirements. It's generally recommended to have a Thai bank account and to start the application process well in advance of your visa's expiry, ideally having at least 15 days left on your permit. Some users suggest that obtaining the Non-O visa from your home country (e.g., Australia) can simplify the process in Thailand, potentially saving time and reducing complications.

Theoretically one could arrive on the 30-days visa-exempt stamp, and convert (change of visa type) to a 90 days Non-Imm-O marriage visa and from the visa to the 1-year extension. However if you first need to open a bank account after arriving, while the "application for the change" clock is already ticking, you might run out of time. In order to be allowed the application to the "change", you must have a minimum of 15 working days left on your stay permit stamp. It is advisable to start out with a 60-days single entry tourist visa, as this will allow you plenty of time to get your ducks in a row. And keep in mind, for everything you process on Immigration, your marriage must be acknowledged and certified in Thailand and you must show a freshly printed Kor Ror 2 (rose bordered marriage certificate) If you only have foreign marriage documents, they must be certified by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (which might take a week to process). . . following are the requirements for a "change of visa type" on Immigration based on marriage

(makes live a whole lot easier here in Thailand - and will probably save you some coin and headache)

might pay to grab a 60 day visa from Sydney giving you more time to arrange things just incase as it can be extended to 90 days if needed

You’re not on a visa but 30 days visa exemption. You will need an agent to help you with opening a bank account. Normal price 4-5000 thb.
