My wife is trailing on my retirement visa. We both have bank accounts for 800K and are over 50 years old. My question, how can my wife change her "trailing" status to her own retirement status. She got a NO visa (for 3 month) two years ago in Penang trailing on my existing visa because we could not supply the required embassy letter at the given time but could supply a marriage certificate. Now we would like to get a change of status for her situation?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To change her trailing status to her own retirement visa, your wife can apply for a new Extension of Stay based on being over 50 years old. She needs to hold the required funds (800,000 THB in her own bank account for 2 months, or a monthly income of 65,000 THB) and apply 30 to 45 days before her current visa expires.
