When applying for 90 days retirement visa from Thailand, what are(if any) the options for the partner who is also in Thailand to be able legally stay until the visa and later the 12 months extension granted?

Answer summary

When applying for a 90-day retirement visa in Thailand, options for a partner seeking to stay legally in the country are limited. The partner would generally need to apply for a Non-O dependant visa, which requires that the primary visa holder be recognized as a legal resident in Thailand. In most cases, the spouse must apply for this visa at a Thai consulate or embassy outside of Thailand, as applying for a dependant visa while both are inside Thailand is not allowed.

If you are seeking the in-country non-O dependant (spouse) to Non-O retirement holder(also obtained inside Thailand), the answer would be no. The spouse has to apply for Non-O dependant to a foreigner who is permitted to stay legally in Thailand based on being over 50 at the consulate /embassy outside Thailand.

not a wise choice of entry...both should get the Non O for retirement in your home country.

You can not get a Non-O visa based on being a trailing spouse to a retiree in Thailand sadly
