ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Currently, the minimum age for a retirement visa in Thailand is 50 years. For someone aged 42 with a full pension, the available options include applying for a digital nomad visa (DTV), which is popular among expats and can provide a 5-year stay. Alternatively, options such as the LTR (Long Term Resident) Wealthy Global Citizen Visa or the Privilege (Elite) visa may be considered, although both have specific requirements.
