I believe getting the DTV visa for your husband is a wiser choice vs OA Visa for retirement.
The DVT visa is issued for 5 years...
The OA Visa is one year with health insurance required.
And the OA Visa can be extended up to One year by careful planning...but again requires health insurance.
AND beyond the second year, with the OA you either return to your home country and get a new one. Or deposit 800,000 Thai baht in a Thai bank account in your husband's name only. With health insurance required.
Up to You 😊
