If  somebody  was  50 in  3months time  could  they  apply for  a  retirement  visa  now  because  firstly  they must get an  o  visa which is for  3month before going straight on  to  the  retirement  visa?

Answer summary

A person cannot apply for a retirement visa in Thailand until they are 50 years old. They can apply for a Non-O visa before they turn 50 but may face the risk of denial depending on the immigration office's discretion. It's important to apply for the Non-O visa in advance, as one comment indicates they were successfully issued a Non-O visa shortly before turning 50.

I got my 90 day single entry Non-O visa from the Vientiane thai consulate a couple months before of turning 50.

BUT

I did have someone try to get a Non-O visa in country at the immigration office in Bangkok before they were 50. They were denied and told to come back once they turned 50 :/
