If you are US passport you still get 60 days Visa Exempt.

Organizing and paying for a dog to travel for 60 days would be doable, possibly expensive depending on airline.

However transporting your dog 2x would be more than 48hrs on planes, transport to and from airport, layovers etc.

Not worth the stress and expense for a vacation but can be done.

One way for our cats was over 30 hours, plus the time getting to the airport and to our accomodation.

We moved here so we had no choice.

Yes this is a pilot project just launched in Phuket.

It is not simple.

You must have a "qualifying" property purchase of 3mil baht freehold.

Unclear what else will qualify so far.

It is through a "longstay company".

Yearly extension cost estimated around 50k baht per applicant.

Need a special certificate from the ministry of tourism supplied by the longstay company.

If you go to room 204 phuket main immigration you will be given information and a contact to try and apply.

It is brand new and info is limited but apparently can be done.

Although not heard of any successful.

You do not need to do anything. You can stay until the 90 day period expires.

You are confusing a 1yr extension that would need to be canceled.

The path that is recommended is to obtain your non-o from an embassy and enter by evisa 90 day non-o.

Once you are in Thailand you can then get a bank account and transfer the necessary funds.

You cannot do a one year extension off a 90 day visa with income method from the UK.

THE UK embassy does not endorse income.

that is obviously a Google or Ai that does not fully understand the question as prompted.

A non-o dependant on over 50, requires no financial proofs at all, as they are dependant on the primary Visa holder.

The 40k income or 400k in the bank is a requirement of marriage to a Thai wife.

Has nothing to do with 2 foreigners and one of over 50 visa.

Thusly a completely wrong answer.

90 day non-o based on being over 50, then a 90 day dependant on that visa- is not available in Thailand or any other the SEA embassies.

Some embassies still allowed it but varies.

The last embassy I am aware that allowed a non-o dependant on retirement was Australia.

Almost all will want the primary to be on a 1yr OA.

THEN they may issue one.
