Hello! I have a NON OA retirement visa and my wife has the trailing spouse visa. Both our visas expire on January 8, 2025. We are both out of Thailand and unable to come back to Thailand before January 8, 2025. Can we renew our NON OA visa outside of Thailand in our country of citizenship (UK , Canada)? Or what are possible options?

TIA

Your only option is to start the process all over again. You can apply for your visas again in your home country.
