So I came into Thailand on a tourist visa thinking I could change it to an o-retirment visa and my wife who is a Filipina. I am over 50 and my wife under 30. I went to immigratin in Hua hin and they told me I have to leave the country and apply for a non-o visa. I have gone to the webiste [members only]/. and filled in the application, however I have been told that my wife will get a non-o based on my status, but then I read online that she needs to apply for non-o also. So do we need two applications, one for her and one for me? Please onlu answer if you have done this in the last month or two.

If I come from the US for 6 months on an Education visa, can my US wife also come for 6 months even though she isn't taking classes?
