Do trailing spouse Visas still exist?

I stupidly forgot to get my re-entry permit when I left Thailand.. 🙈 I was on trailing spouse extension of stay, what do I do when I return? Thanks in advance 🙏

My wife was a teacher here in the past, but had to leave her job due to a health issue a few months ago. She has been on a medical visa for these few months, but, her health all mended, her visa expires 1 April.

She has been here on her US passport, but she also has a Brazilian passport.

I am retired here on a non-O.

My question is this: what are her alternatives for staying here until she can land in a new teaching position? When we first arrived here many years ago she was my trailing spouse, then later a student, then later on a work visa. Alternatives I see are leaving and then returning as a tourist, or bringing her back under my visa.

Any ideas that I'm missing? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: My wife and I are retiring together. We are both US citizens. We are both over 50. She is a veteran. She has enough income, mine is a little shy on the monthly amount required. We plan to apply individually.

When your comments mention that rules can depend on the immigration office, are you referring to offices inside Thailand or one of the 5 Thailand Embassies in the US? Thank you all for your valuable input and feedback. 🎉💛

Can anyone validate this?

In Thailand, a "trailing spouse" visa is now available for same-sex couples following the legalization of same-sex marriage, meaning that a non-Thai partner of a Thai citizen in a same-sex marriage can apply for a dependent visa to live in Thailand with their spouse.

If this is not an option, what other options does my wife have to stay while I work in Thailand?

Anyone know if trailing spouse visa options are now or will be available for same sex couples?

Hi. Has anyone got information on the requirements for renewal of a trailing spouse visa. I’m on a non o retirement which seems a fairly straightforward renewal but I can’t find much info regarding my wife’s. Thanks

Has anyone received their DTV based on having lasik surgery?

Would trailing spouse be applicable as well?

Hello! I have a NON OA retirement visa and my wife has the trailing spouse visa. Both our visas expire on January 8, 2025. We are both out of Thailand and unable to come back to Thailand before January 8, 2025. Can we renew our NON OA visa outside of Thailand in our country of citizenship (UK , Canada)? Or what are possible options?

TIA

Hello everyone - excellent group for advise. Time for me to ask: my wife and I are coming to retire in Thailand in November. Can anyone recommend Thai Visa Expert as an agent, or can you recommend a worthwhile alternative? Many thanks.
