I’m over 50, my wife is not. I was told by the immigration officer at counter B temporary immigration in Muang Thong Thani that I should confirm whether or not my wife would be able to “follow” me and qualify for retirement extension.
I think the answer is: she can, but would like one of the many experts here to confirm if I can have her join me here under the retirement extension or not. I don’t want this to be a loose end for obvious reasons.
TIA
