Question about Non-OA Visa
I am over 50 years old and meet all the requirements. I’m employed and will be using my income to meet the financial requirements. Question is my wife is less than 50 y/o (she is 44), can I include her in my application? Or does the spouse also have to be over 50 years old as well?
I see this visa is a 1 year visa, can I continually renew it every year meeting all the requirements yearly?
We could apply in the UK but my wife is Canadian citizen, not sure if I can apply her here while we are in the UK. We can also apply in Thailand (probably in Phuket).
I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Non-OA visa holder cannot include their spouse in the application directly; instead, the spouse can apply for a Non-O dependent visa. The age requirement for the dependent spouse does not apply as long as they are legally married. The Non-OA visa is valid for one year, and it can be renewed annually as long as all requirements are met. While you can apply for your wife's visa in the UK, you cannot apply for the Non-OA or Non-O dependent at the Phuket immigration office; applications must be made through the Thai embassy or consulate.
