Can I get a one-year extension on a Non-O visa based on marriage and foreign income?

Erik ***********

As long as your embassy writes the income letter it doesnt matter if your work money comes from abroad. I have my salary from Sweden and non o visa from within Thailand. Going for the 1 year extension this month now.

Income doesnt have to be from within Thailand. Income letter from embassy saying you have an income from overseas is good enogh.

How soon before turning 50 can I apply for a Retirement visa in Thailand if I currently have a Non O visa based on marriage?

Erik ***********

Well you can use your salary from another country for your 40k/month marriage visa as well. It doesnt have to come from within Thailand.

How soon before turning 50 can I apply for a Retirement visa in Thailand if I currently have a Non O visa based on marriage?

Erik ***********

Well for marriage it is only 400k and not 800k or a salary at 40k/month instead of 65k/month. And with the marriage visa you are allowed to work if you get a work permit. Working is not allowed on a retirement visa.

Who said it was the only criteria? And yes if anyone wants to learn then can learn fluently within 1 year and they will also pass the primary 6th grade language test after 1 year of language studies. But only if they are serious in learning.
