Please approve admin!
I am a current student hold ED visa in Thailand.My visa is valid until next year March. I may not attend school next semester due to financial problem. I am also preparing marriage with Thai boyfriend.

You are most likely NOT on any visa :O I'd wager seeing as you say you can stay until March 2022 right now you're on an extension of stay <- READ your current stamp
What you would do is get married then get documentation from the school saying you stop studying on xxx date. Go to the immigration office cancel your current extension of stay based on education and immediately apply for a new extension of stay based on marriage to a thai national.
GO to the immigration office before you do this and get the hand out listing what the requirements are to apply for a yearly extension based on marriage to a thai (as a foreign female marrying a thai male :) )
You are NOT changing any visa for any other visa and you do NOT need a Non-O visa, all you are doing is changing the reason for your extension from one based on education to one based on marriage to a thai.
