Is it possible to change from a non O-A Retirement visa to a non O Spouse visa at renewal time.

Thx in advance 🙏
Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to change from a Non-O-A Retirement visa to a Non-O Spouse visa at the time of renewal. You will need to change the reason for your extension from retirement to marriage, provided you meet the necessary requirements for the Non-O Spouse visa. However, it is important to note that the Non-O Aid are strictly for retirement purposes, while the Non-O can be used for marriage.

The NON-O can be issued based on marriage to a Thai but the OA is only for retirement.

Therefore the OA can only be extended for reasons of retirement.

You wouldn't be changing to a Non-O spouse visa. You would simply be changing the reason for your extension of stay from one based on retirement to one based on marriage

Im pretty sure you can change the reason for extension as long as you meet all the requirements
