@Chris ******

That is exactly what I thought, his visa first. But can she not apply as Philippine citizen, in country of origin?

@Paul *****

That is an advantage. Normally easier, if paperwork in English. Mine, had to be translated. Just contact the Thai Embassy in Manila, and ask your questions there. For your wife, 100 % sure she must obtain it outside Thailand. When she does the demand, she must join your own passport copy, retirement visa, and maybe your arrival in Thailand. They will give you the latest answers.

Ok. First, or it must have changed, she can only apply for a retirement visa, meaning on your visa, outside of the country, no way around that.

For you, it is probably different. I had my visa already, when she was put on the visa.

She must better write to the embassy in her country, or surrounding countries, and ask how to proceed. Don't listen to people in offices, who promise to do that in Thailand. When you leave the country and come back, immigration, will see your visa is not legimit.

Also where were you married? What is your nationality.

Confusion is that she has to ask the visa, based on the one you are having, and give as following spouse.

If you renew the visa, you pay 2 times. And that can be done in Thailand, with proof, you are then still married. It is only a Thaï embassy, who can answer you, correctly, and what papers you need. Your marriage certificate is the most important, and you probably need translation.

Normally, and that is the only thing, I am not 100 % sure of, that she can only apply, if you have your visa already.

The transfer was through them or Bkk bank ?

@Peter ******

But you cannot get this by the app, have to go to bank? Should put this straight away with booking

@Peter ******

I did the European bank transfer. But if I got it well as international transfer, I not have details of the exchange rate, nor the costs, how did you get this?

@Jesper ******

That is BKK, Pattaya is other story.
