I have a question related to the retirement visa. My husband is planning to apply for the 1 year Non-O retirement visa from within Thailand. Do you know if this visa allows for followers, which would include a spouse and child? or would he need to apply for the long term 5 year Non-OX retirement visa? Thank you for your help!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The 1-year Non-O retirement visa does allow for dependent visas for a spouse and child, but specific rules apply when applying for these dependent visas. The primary visa holder must first obtain a 90-day Non-O visa and then convert it to a 1-year extension before the spouse and child can apply for their Non-O visas. This must be done at a nearby consulate, such as in Penang, as initial applications for dependent visas cannot be made from within Thailand based on the husband's retirement status.
