If your Non Immigrant O visa is based on being over 50 years (retirement) than you can only apply for the 1 year Extension of Stay if you meet all the requirements like the 800.000 Thb in Thai bank for 2 months or 65.000 Thb monthly income certified by your embassy. But than you need also a re-entry permit to keep this Extension alive during your travels.

Yes my Visa is based on marriage. I was told it was spousal visa but I don’t see anywhere on the Visa that it indicates that.
