ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi good people,I'm from.UK living in Thailand on a visa based on retirement, thinking of getting married shortly to a Thai lady who I have known for long time . Is there any benefit in getting a visa based on marriage apart from 400k,so do I need any other paperwork for immigration other than marriage certificate and does one cancel the other ? or do they run concurrently till retirement run out ? Thanks in advance
