Can my wife piggyback on my Retirement Extension of Stay in Thailand?
I currently have a Retirement extension of stay, obtained 2 months ago. My wife has her own Retirement Extension, which expires in September. Is it at all possible for her to :piggy back: on my Extension of stay.
Answer summary
A user inquired about the possibility of their wife 'piggybacking' on their Retirement Extension of Stay in Thailand. One comment suggested that the wife could change her visa status from a Retirement Extension to a Trailing Spouse visa, which is available for spouses of foreigners on a long-term extension. It's recommended that both individuals visit their local immigration office to obtain information on necessary documentation, including the legalization of their marriage certificate and other required paperwork.

she could change here reason for her extension from one based on being over 50 (retirement) to one based on being married to another foreigner on a long term extension (trailing spouse).
You BOTH should go to your immigration office get the hand out and see what documentation is required (especially as far as legalization of the marriage certificate) and the other paperwork to have her change her reason.

It definitely CAN be done, it's just you should have gotten after it a LOT sooner than now especially if her current extension runs out this month. That doesn't give you a lot of time to get the documents together.. People change reasons for their extensions all the time.
Good Luck with it :)
