TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently on a Non-O multiple entry visa based on their marriage to a Thai citizen and is inquiring about converting this visa to a Non-O retirement visa. They have $800,000 baht in their bank account for over eight months. A commenter explains that the user cannot immediately convert their entry stamp from a Non-O marriage visa to a retirement visa while on a multiple-entry visa. They will first need to apply for a one-year extension based on their marriage to qualify for a conversion later.

Sadly, you cannot "convert" your entry stamp on Non-O marriage to a Thai, at least immediately.

As you are entering on a multiple-entry visa, you are on an entry stamp. If you want to do in Thailand, you must apply for a 1-year extension based on being married to a Thai at least once. <- which means you need to be on an extension for the same reason for your entry stamp. Once you are on an extension, you can change the reason for the next 1-year extension or when your current reason stops.

Otherwise, you have to get Non-O based on retirement first.

Anyway, you can use your current multiple Non-O visa until it's expired, in October this year to enter for another 90 days.
