Can I Convert My O-A Retirement Visa to an O Visa and Marriage Extension in Thailand?

O-A Visa Marriage Visa Visa Conversion

Mar 20, 2020

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have been on a O-A retirement extension for a number of years with a US passport. I imagine that if I get a O Visa and then a subsequent marriage extension, I would need to run my retirement extension out (or get it cancelled?), get the O Visa at a Thai Consulate/embassy  and then do the extension. Is there any way to get this done in country - I expect not, but wanted to ask the experts anyway...

You will need to leave and reenter Thailand once to break the O-A.
