Answer summary
The original poster is seeking advice on what visa options are available for their adult children (ages 20 and 23) as they apply for an OA visa to retire in Thailand. The consensus from the comments indicates that since the children are adults, they cannot be included under the parent's visa and will need to obtain their own visas. Possible options for the children include obtaining a Non-B visa through employment or acquiring an elite visa.

As adults they won't be able to stay long term in Thailand without their own visas that allow them to do so. They could possibly each get jobs which could give them a Non-B visa, or purchase elite visas each

None. They are adults. They need to qualify for their own visas.

OP@Brandon ***********
thanks for the quick reply. So to stay as long as possible it means they can only apply for a 90 days visa ?Ruth *******
@Marc ********
or, they can find jobs (I’m not being snarky…another option is a work permit)Brandon ************
@Marc ********
if that's all they qualify for then that's all they can get. Roberto provided some options in his reply

They can get ED visas if they intend studying. At university these can go for three or four years. Tourism visas probably METV is best. Can get up to nine months from the one visaActivity
