TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shares their experience attempting to update their Non O TR visa to a married visa in Thailand. After receiving encouragement from the community, they faced a challenge when the authorities required an independent witness for the marriage verification. They managed to resolve this by having a local bar owner sign as a witness, successfully completing the process.

All sorted now. Got thrown a curv ball as they wanted an independent witness and as we live 1 hour 40 away would have been impossible. Got the owner of a local bar to come and sign for me.

I came in 30 days ago and got a list of everything they wanted and laid it all out in a ring binder matching their lists numbering. The only issue was they never said bring a witness on the list they provided.

Cheers that answers the question of do people like yourself who come in on TR visa and plan to convert need one year insurance or not. They can get away with 3 months

I paid 90 days before flying as that was the lengh of my TR visa. 60+30. It's still valid now but not sure if I will bother renewing as so expensive.
