ORIGINAL POSTER

My wife and I are in our last year of the 5 year elite visa. Next year, as we are both 50 now,  we are leaning towards getting the non O visa from our home country. At immigration this week the officer said we would both have to get the Non O to start with , have a total of 1,600,000 in the bank to cover us for 2 x 800k but then later my wife could use the marriage certificate and we would need just 1 x 800k in the bank.  I was under the impression my wife would be covered by my Non O and subsequent retirement extension from the start.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user and their wife are contemplating transitioning from a 5-year elite visa to a Non-O visa due to their age. There's a requirement for 1,600,000 THB in the bank for both to qualify initially, but later, based on a marriage certificate, only 800,000 THB is needed for the wife's extension. The discussion highlights confusion about dependencies and financial requirements for visas.

Correct, one of you can get the visa and extension based on being over 50 years of age, therefor the financial requirement must be met and the wedded partner can get an Extension of Stay based on a foreigners with a long stay as dependent and for this extension there are no financial requirements
