What documents are required for my wife to switch her Non-O visa to a retirement visa extension?
I already got my 1 year retirement visa extension last November. My wife will have her non o visa stamp next week from Pattaya immigration.
Upon 30 days before expiration of my wife non o visa, What document is required if my wife follow my retirement visa extension?
Is it just my passport copy including my retirement visa stamp and her passport copy including her non o visa, + our marriage certificate & certified translation copy.

@Peter ***
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 50Peter ****

they said it is possible, just my wife need to have 800k baht for 2 month before she can apply the non o retirement . So she got the non o under retirement .Peter ****

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.Stuart *********
Probably best to check with your immigration office as some may vary. As an example here’s what they need in Phuket.
