Can my wife apply for a NON-O visa as a dependent while I apply for one in Thailand?
Didn’t find an answer and need advice.
With my wife we came to Thailand in December last year. We’ve got tourist visa exempt stamps and then Covid extensions.
I understand I can apply here in country for 90 days NON-O retirement visa and then extend it for one year.
The question is: can my wife, who is less than 50, apply for NON-O visa as a trailer to me at the same time?

Answer summary
The user is inquiring whether their wife can simultaneously apply for a NON-O visa as a dependent while they apply for their own NON-O retirement visa in Thailand. Responses indicate that, generally, the wife cannot apply for the NON-O visa inside Thailand alongside the husband. It is suggested that she must first wait until the husband obtains a 12-month extension on his NON-O visa and then apply for her NON-O visa at a nearby embassy.

She can but not inside Thailand, and probably not until you have the 12 month extension. You will need to get the 90 day Non-O and once you have the extension get a re-entry permit and both go to a nearby embassy to get the Non-O for your wife

You have to ask your local Immigration Office if you still can apply for a conversion of an old and invalid tourist visa into the Non Immigrant O visa for yourself and your wife.
Normally the Non Immigrant O visa based on being dependent on a foreigner with a long stay inside Thailand can not be issued as the partner is applying for a new visa and does not have a long stay.
