Thank you for reporting this! We are flying there next week. Did the local Thailand immigration convert it to a retirement extension or are you waiting until the 3 months are up?

@Jack ********
they are NOT getting a retirement anything. this was for a "trailing spouse" Non-O and when they have 30 days or less left on that 90 day stamp they will go in and get an extension for the spouse that matches the husbands retirement extension.Jack *********

Vientiane and Savannakhet don't issue Non-O visas based on trailing spouse or dependent to a retiree (Non-O/extension) they stopped before the covid lock down unless I'm mistaken

I went apply for a Non O for my Laos wife and daughter to trail my extension of stay based on retirement. Had everything marriage certificate translations funds etc. I was told the rules have changed. Can only apply for spouse of thai or spouse on business or Ed visa not retirement. Let them in on a 60 day tourist.Reply to

they only require a copy at this time. But I think Chiang Mai Immigration will require it for 1 year extension so I had it certified by MAF.Nick *******

Congrats
That is GREAT news (y) (y) (y) No one really knew if Penang was still issuing single entry Non-O visas based on trailing spouse of retiree visa/extension holders.
Good for you, and thank you for letting the group know..
There are more than a few people in situations where they need to get this visa as it can't be gotten in country.
Thank you for the update
