TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can obtain a work permit based on an extension of stay due to marriage to a Thai national, which is what many refer to as a 'marriage visa.' A Non-B visa is not required for this purpose.

There is no such thing as a "marriage visa". However, you can get a work permit on an extension of stay based on marriage to a Thai national (which I'm assuming you're calling a "marriage visa").

Your employer should apply for WP, not you.

that is between you, your employer and the Ministry of Labor that issues the work permit and sadly it is not a thai VISA question :(

Yes, sorry! That is what I meant. I have a multi non-o that I got from the Thai consulate in Australia.

just a bit of confirmation. Are you on amnesty or applied on extension already? Maybe situation could be varied.

Anyway, as

@T**

said, you need to have your employer to check with MOL.

AND you can also hold a work permit on a year-long, multi-entry Non-O visa based on marriage that you got from a thai consulate in another country (the kind where you bounce out and back every 90 days) too :)
