Can my husband apply for a Non-O visa as my trailing spouse if I’m applying for a retirement visa?

ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The advice from the immigration office in Hua Hin is accurate: your husband, being under 50, cannot apply for a Non-O visa as a trailing spouse while you apply for a retirement visa (Non-O). He would need to obtain a 90-day Non-O visa issued first, then a year extension of that visa. After you secure your retirement visa, he can then apply for a trailing spouse Non-O visa at a consulate outside the country. In the meantime, your husband can travel in and out of Thailand every 30 days without issue, but he will need to manage his entries carefully to avoid overstaying.
