Do I need to get a non-O dependent visa for my wife if I have a retirement visa?

@Roberto ********

I have received good advice. There’s no need to dwell on this ASEAN passport part if you don’t understand what ASEAN is or didn’t even look it up on Google.

A German passport can be referred as a European passport in general term so why can’t I say my passport is an ASEAN passport if I’m from one of the 10 ASEAN countries?

Yes correct. I meant it as a collective meaning. My passport is from one of the 10 countries in ASEAN.

Can I obtain a retirement visa in Thailand without leaving the country after a 30-day entry?

Hi Chris, good sharing thanks. For the accommodation address, can I use the hotel I’m staying or must it be a long term rental apartment?

I should get an agent for the bank account opening ASAP once I land in Bangkok? I’m considering the timeline and which to do first…
