ORIGINAL POSTER

If one starts with a 1 year retirement visa, is it possible to change/apply for a marriage visa midway in the year, or the first visa needs to go to full term? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

It is not possible to switch from a one-year retirement visa to a marriage visa midway through the year. You must wait until the end of the visa term and then apply for a conversion when extending your visa. Alternatively, leaving the country without a re-entry permit will cancel your current visa, allowing you to apply for a 90-day NON-O visa at an embassy outside of Thailand or convert it upon re-entering.

No, you have to wait until the end and apply to switch when you apply for an extension. You also need to keep the minimum amount of money in your account the entire year.

The only way to switch mid-year is to leave the country without a re-entry permit which will cancel your stay, and then you'll need to start over with applying for the 90 day non-O visa at an embassy outside of Thailand or applying to convert at immigration.
