Non O retirement visa extension.

Can you have information about the healt insurance and u have some best option to indicate?

I'm 72 years old and my italian wife 51 years old.

Can she have extension whit my she entry whit 60 days tourist visa.
Answer summary
The Non O retirement visa extension does not require proof of health insurance for individuals over 50. However, the individual's wife, who entered on a 60-day tourist visa, cannot obtain a Non O visa extension simply because of her marriage to the visa holder. She must first apply for a 90-day Non O visa from outside Thailand to be eligible for a subsequent extension.

there is no proof of insurance required for a yearly extension based on being over 50 (retirement) from a Non-O visa.

Sadly your wife cannot get an in country Non-O visa issued based on being married to someone who is on a retirement extension because no office will issue it for that reason. She would have to get a 90 day Non-O visa before she comes here and then she could get an extension matching yours
