TLDR : Answer Summary

There is no specific duration of relationship required before applying for a Non-O marriage visa in Thailand. You can apply almost immediately after getting legally married to a Thai citizen, though most offices recommend having a honeymoon first and may take additional steps to verify the legitimacy of your marriage.

You can apply for the non imm O visa based on marriage as soon as you're legally married to a Thai citizen

There is no requirement for a specific amount of time for a relationship. You could in theory apply the same day.

Probably best to have a honeymoon first though 😀

Most offices will require a 30 day under consideration period and may well visit you to check you are together and ask neighbours questions as to whether it’s a real marriage etc.
