TLDR : Answer Summary

The requirements for a retirement visa in Thailand for individuals over 50 can be complex and may vary by immigration office. It's recommended to check with your local immigration office for a specific list of requirements. Additionally, spouses may apply for a "piggyback" extension that corresponds to the retirement visa. All family members will need their own visas as well.

IF a foreigner is married to a foreign spouse that person can get a "piggy back" extension (called trailing spouse") where the foreign spouse gets a matching extension the same length as the person who has the retirement extension.

They need to hold a 90 day Non-O visa and it is NOT available inside the country, it has to be bought from a thai consulate in another country ..

Visit your local immigration office and ask for a list if requirements for retiring in Thailand for you and family members. Then you will know what they require.

With 70+ immigration offices in Thailand, requirements do vary.

I deleted your second question about what to do for different kinds of people using the Visa Exempt Entry.

If you like to give Visa advice, fine but you have to find your information yourself,

Immigration does give seminars, I did follow them to get the knowledge.

No idea what you mean with a retirement visa as people use this populair phrase for 3 different types of a visa and the Extension of Stay.

Visit the website of the Thai Embassy in your country and read the differences.

Your spouse and minors need their own visa
