ORIGINAL POSTER

My wife (under 50) is here on 45 day visa exempt entry & needs to get 90 day non-O outside of Thailand, before re-entering to apply (after 45 days) for failing spouse/dependent visa on the back of my retirement visa…is there a Thai embassy in a close by country that’s recommended for ease of process?  We were thinking Penang or preferably Singapore…(we live in Phuket, have friends we could visit in SG)

We don't have many reports about Non-O trailing spouse to a Non-O retirement holder around SEA since the Covid chaos yet. Check with Penang or Savarnaket. Singapore doesn't issue it unless you hold Non-OA.
