What visa options are there for my wife since she is under retirement age while I retire in Hua Hin?

She can get a Dtv cooking course or she can get a student visa

Similar ages to myself and my Wife, She did a 5 month Ed visa first and I did the retirement, once my retirement visa was done she could then 'follow' me with a dependant Visa, it's easy to do yourself if you take your time, Go speak to the girls on the ground floor at the Immigration in Thap tai and they will be happy to help you.

Contact a reputable visa agent in Hua Hin and ask them for information. I would let them do the work. Some people say it’s expensive but for me it was worth it

Same situation

Tried to change TR tourist to non O in country .....not permitted as she is under 50 told by 4 immigration officers

Visited Jomtiem told me she makes visa non o visiting non Thai spouse from home country then can get 90 days single entry then extension 60 days then leave return with new non o repeat..they said simple and many do this giving 5 months at a time

Cheang watthana Bangkok I visited two separate immigration desks (Queues were long)told me make non o visiting non Thai spouse visa 90 day single entry out of Thailand any Thai consulate

then CW will make extension to match spouses expiry of extension. (One year?..yes)

Marriage certificate has to be

Certified home country registry office

Legalised in her home country by her MFA.

Legalised by Thai consulate her home country

Translated to Thai by authorised translator

Legalised MFA Thailand

KR22 not required (wait n see)

CW say only spouse needs to show all funding to cover her as dependent

I'm in the process & have been for 5 months getting the marriage certificate steps completed

Like one said, you get a visa (non-o retirement) and your wife follow your visa. It’s not 2 separate visas.

It will likely depend on which visa you apply for but for your wife the best visa would be a Non-O visa based on being married to you, known as a dependant visa. Many consulates will no longer issue this if you apply for a Non-O visa based on being over 50, however many will do if you apply for a Non-OA visa based on being over 50. The downside is the Non-OA requires health insurance, police checks etc. Best to talk to the consulate you plan to use and see what they say.

She can be a dependant on your visa.

You don't say where you're from but I'd suggest in the first instance to see if your embassy will issue the non-O dependant visa which will tag into your non-OA retirement visa. Many embassies have stopped issuing these, but at the same time, many still do.

Other than this, your options are LTR, Elite and DTV
