TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to take up work again after switching from a retirement extension of stay (NON-O) to a marriage extension of stay (NON-O). However, your wife's company must meet specific requirements to obtain a work permit for you. It's recommended to consult with the Ministry of Labour in your area for detailed guidance.

@Craig ********

you will cancel your existing extension of stay and then apply for the new extension of stay at the same time. Different immigration offices have different policies, ask them for details

You are legally allowed to hold a work permit when you're on an extension based on marriage, BUT whether your wife's company can meet the requirements for you to actually get one is another story.

Have her contact the Ministry of Labour in the city you live in.
