TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster inquired whether their Thai wife, who holds a US passport and a Thai ID card, needs to take any steps while they apply for a retirement visa as a US citizen. Responses indicated that, since she has a Thai ID, she generally does not need to take any action. However, it was suggested that she could apply for a 1-year extension based on her Thai citizenship status to avoid potential issues.

If she has a Thai ID, basically no need to do anything. But she can also apply for a 1-year extension being a former Thai/proving as a Thai citizen on her entry as a US passport holder to reduce any issue.

Getting a Thai passport and re-entering Thailand on it might be the simplest.
