Can I convert my retirement visa to a marriage visa? My visa expires a few months from now, but I also want to work.
There are two ways to convert a Retirement visa to a Marriage visa. First, you would need to cancel your Retirement visa and apply for an initial non-immigrant o visa from the Thai embassy in neighboring countries. Once in Thailand, you would need to meet the financial requirements and all other supporting documents in order to convert your visa to 1 year.
Second, conversion from Retirement visa to Marriage visa in Thailand could be done during the time for renewal, but this option may not be applicable to all Immigration offices in Thailand. Requirements may then vary and list of documents needed may differ from every location.

I am now on an extension of stay of my retirement visa. I do my extension every year in Bangkok. Please let me know, do I need to have medical insurance for my next extension? Thank you.

Dear Nahida,
I am sorry but we cannot advise you on this matter. You must contact the Thai Embassy in your current location for more information.
Thank you.
I have been married to a Thai lady with 2 sons for 10 years on my retirement visa. Now since the Thai baht has become stronger by 9 baht my income has been reduced by 12,000 baht per month; and last year my 10 year annuity payout has finished reducing my income even more. At this point I still meet the income requirement for marriage vise and need to this. How & when?
Changing the Retirement visa to Marriage visa is not that complicated. You just have to submit the required documents for that particular visa at the immigration office. Kindly refer to this link: https://www.thaiembassy.com/visa/thaivisa.php
