TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a Marriage Visa in Thailand, you must first hold a Non-Immigrant O Visa. You can apply for the 90-day Non-O Visa outside Thailand, or if you're currently in Thailand on a Tourist Visa, you may be able to switch to a Non-O Visa if you meet certain requirements, such as having a bank account.

To clarify, you're seeking a temporary residence permit for one year based on marriage, which requires a Non-Immigrant visa. You can apply for a 90-day Non O visa outside Thailand or switch from a tourist visa in-country if you have a bank account.

The non-O IS the marriage visa, if that's the basis you applied for it on.
