Do I have to show income if I follow along on my husband's retirement visa? He is the breadwinner.

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are following along on your husband's retirement visa as a trailing spouse, you do not need to show your own income. However, it's important to note that you must apply for this visa from outside of Thailand. This can be done either at a Thai embassy in your home country when your husband first applies for his retirement visa or after he has transitioned from a 90-day non-O visa to a 1-year extension, at which point you would also need to leave Thailand to apply.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.

No, a trailing visa does not have to show income.

Beware though that you can only get this visa from outside of Thailand so you either need to apply for it when your husband applies for his visa from the Thai embassy in your home country, or if he's going to apply in Thailand you need to wait until he's gotten through the 90 day non-O visa and is on the 1 year extension, then you'll need to leave Thailand and apply for your non-O visa at a nearby Thai embassy.

you'll need to ask the immigration office you're using. It may vary from office to office.

I’m in process of getting the 90 day non-O (over 50) in UK for myself and dependent spouse for wife. When I apply for the 12 month extension in Thailand can my wife apply at the same time?
