Hi, if one spouse applies for non-o visa in Thailand (over50) can other spouse apply for dependent (under50) within Thailand or does this need to be done in home country via OA ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When one spouse applies for a NON-O visa in Thailand due to being over 50, the other spouse can potentially apply for a dependent visa within Thailand, especially at the Phuket immigration office, based on recent policy changes. However, this option is not widely reported, so proceeding through a consulate in the home country is a safer route unless the primary visa holder has already received their year extension.
