TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on whether they need insurance to apply for an extension of stay based on marriage after initially entering Thailand on a NON-O-A Multiple Entry visa. Responses indicate that if the extension is based on marriage (after the first year of the NON-O-A visa), insurance is not required. However, at least one initial extension must typically follow the same reason as the visa's issuance (retirement). The advice is to visit the immigration office to confirm eligibility and requirements.
