Hello all. My question is this, as I can’t find an answer on the official page in regards to Retirement Visas. My wife and I are both over age 50. I am retired and she does not work and hasn’t for some years. We would like to move to Thailand and apply for a Retirement Visa but the requirements state each applicant must show individual income proof. Is my wife able to be a dependent on my retirement Visa? If not, if we both apply for retirement Visas, can we both use the same joint bank account as income verification? Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about the possibility of their wife being a dependent on their retirement visa in Thailand. Responses indicate that both individuals need separate financial proofs for retirement visa applications. Using a joint account for income verification is not feasible unless it meets the required total funds for both applicants. However, it was noted that if applying for a Non-OA visa in their home country, the wife may qualify for a dependent visa without needing additional funds. Overall, both would need to show individual financial documentation unless specific conditions were met.
