are Pattaya immigration now issuing Non-O visas for trailing spouse reason? Not all Non-O visas are the same. I only ask as the first extension must be for the reason the Non-O visa was issued.

my wife apply the non 0 visa in Hong Kong intended to follow my retirement, but they reject the application and ask her to apply the non o in Thailand . So we went to immigration and ask advise what we can do in this situation. After some talk with them, I ask whether I can apply non o under retirement. When the non o issued, then my wife will use the non o (retirement) to follow my retirement.

did the immigration state you could do that? As far as I'm aware if you get a Non-O visa issued for being over 50 (commonly called retirement visa) then the subsequent extension on that visa must also for being over 50
