TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the possibility of obtaining a retirement visa in Thailand as a dependent of her husband, who is eligible for it at age 51. Various comments suggest alternatives such as obtaining a dependent Non-O visa, a DTV for 5 years, or waiting until she reaches the age of 50 to qualify for her own retirement visa. Key considerations include the different visa types available and the requirements for applicants under the age limit.
Really??? You asked this in public???? You NOT 50 you don't qualify for a retirement visa. You're 2 years off maybe tour IQ is 2 and you git confused ๐

You have to apply for DTV outside of Thailand.
An agent can't get you this visa in Thailand.
Check the Government website

When my husband turned 50 in 2009, I had no problem getting a spousal visa with his retirement visa, just had to produce marriage certificate. Not sure if rules have changed since then
yea. I thought this visa is for digital nomads and required some proof of remote employment as how you would be earning and supporting yourself while living in Thailand?
Have I really been so wrong or is the comment above conflating the DTV and the Ed visa? Either of these are possible ๐คฃ

Oh wow! OK! This looks like a good resource and I will make time to watch it later. I donโt know how I have not come across this info before but I sure appreciate you taking the time. ๐ Iโm sure
you have been so wrong: watch this video where a top thai immigration official is interviewed for clarity and get it straight from horses mouth- also the motivation why they are doing this

Mโam, lots of exciting new territories are joining the US union in the near future: Canada, Mehico, Panama, Denmark, etc. Retirement opportunities greatly increased!
If you can't get a retirement visa with your husband you can get a agent to get you a Destination Thailand Visa DTV last for 5 years but I believe you still have to do 2boarrd crossing a year
remember aa DTV cannot be applied for inside of thailand you have to apply at an embassy other than thailand, your home country or country near by. Agents can only help you prepare for a visa as its not within thailand they are granted.
OK got it. I will definitely research what's around here for that.

There are a number of visa types that people often refer to as a โretirementโ visa.
If your husband were to get the Non OA visa (needs medical, police check and health insurance) then your local embassy may consider giving you a dependent Non O visa based off of that.
If he goes for the Non O based on being over 50 (doesnโt require medical,police check or insurance) then they almost certainly wonโt.
Alternatively you could look at getting a DTV for 5 years which would then bring you over the 50 year age to get your own โretirementโ visa.
Possibly it may have something to do with the fact that you can only get a Non OA from your home country or country of legal residence, but in theory you can get a Non O from any embassy/consulate. Why that may be a factor is not know to me just a suspicion.
