ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The primary applicant for an OA retirement visa in Thailand must be over 50 years old, but there are no specific age requirements for the spouse. However, it is essential to check with the respective embassy if they issue trailing spouse visas as part of the process. Alternatively, spouses under the required age can explore options such as applying for a DTV visa to stay in Thailand while waiting for eligibility to apply for the retirement visa.
