for getting your initial visa non imm o based on retirement valid for 90 days you should check with the embassy where you apply. Once in country when your apply for your 1 year extension of stay one of you only needs the 800k in an account in his/her name (no joint account) once the primary extension is done. The trailing spouse can apply for his/her extension without the financial requirement.

For the yearly extension you only need 800k in your bank and she will piggyback on yours, for the initial visa issuance I am not sure as it varies country to country Depends what you are requiring, initial visa or yearly extension.

children under 15 are not fined for overstay and there are no consequences. Having said that as you apply and given the cost it’s wise just to have them a 60 days tourist visa from a neighbor country.

massive scam! There is no legal way to get a 3 month stay from inside the country.

That’s exactly the point every office has it own regulation and the big secret is never ask ‘WHY?’ 😂

as I said most immigration office will require a 90 days report to issue a residence certificate, most means not all…. Yes a 90 days report is done if you stay 90 days in the country, it’s quite clear from the name… as the op doesn’t mention which immigration office she will be using then the answer has to be generic. In general to have a residence certificate you have to reside and provide proof of…. If you are on a tourist visa you are not residing therefore not entitled to have one, you need to find a way around it which usually is an agency helping you out.

without a 90 days report most immigration won’t issue a residence certificate, maybe look for an agency.

Once you get your extension of stay based on retirement she will piggy back on yours as a dependent, no need to put extra funds, but first you have to do yours. Then she can do hers. As correctly pointed out go to immigration and collect the information, if the financial aspect is taken care of the rest is just getting the correct documentation.

You’ll just have to be very patient, as it will be crowded, that’s all. Depending on where you are getting your extension it can be many hours. In bangkok people queueing up from 6am….

The evisa site give you the option to check that possibility for example if you are italian and you are in Australia you can apply online. Its not always the case though. If you are already in Thailand there isn’t the option to check, I believe as you are already here why would you apply for a visa…
