Which visa should I apply for in Thailand: Non-O based on retirement or marriage?

I believe that the OP has the answers needed for his question.

Thanks all for your helpful replies.

worst case (if your office requires proof of funds origin for a Non-O based on retirement) you get the Non-O visa based on marriage, no office requires proof of where the 400K baht came from for that 90 day Non-O visa and then go for the year marriage extension.

OR

Get the Non-O visa from the thai consulate in your country before you come here THEN move the money (as a year extension doesn't require proof of funds origin)

Definitely check with your office well before you try to do this so you know what's what and don't come off the rails

Unless I am mistaken the ONLY immigration office that requires proof of funds origin for a Non-0 visa based on retirement is Bangkok. So as long as you're NOT getting the Non-O visa/extension based on retirement from the Bangkok office you'd be fine

All the rest just need to show the funds in the account on the day you apply and no offices have proof of funds origin for the year extension based on retirement

Also no offices have proof of funds origin for the 400K baht needed for the Non-O based on marriage OR the year extension
