What are the requirements for a spousal visa for a Filipina married to an American in Thailand?

Alma ***************

we were told that if we applied for the retirement visa together with my husband as main applicant he only needs to have the 800k and not for me since I'm just a dependent. But since we applied inside Thailand they asked us to have both 800k..

Alma ***************

why does she need a student visa when you have a retirement visa..it's perhaps the financial requirement ? We did a retirement visa in the beginning and we needed to have the 800k baht each ..now my husband's on a dtv and me as dependent only requiring 500k baht each
