CanadaSam Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hi all, I have a friend who is over 50 (USA) and is going to get a retirement visa soon. He has a wife from Philippines who is only 45. Does anybody have any information on how she can stay with him here in Thailand, long term? Is dependant visa the way to go, and if so, what are the details, please? Thank you for the help/advice!

ubonjoe Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 She can apply for a extension for being his wife. Her extension will be valid to the day his extension expires. There is no minimum age for the extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, his wife will need a Non O visa first, which cannot currently be applied for at immigration. Hopefully, an embassy/consulate neighbouring Thailand will issue the required Non O to a Filipina without difficulty. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best to do the application after he gets his extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
