Visa type recommend for US expat under 50 ?

[Billpro785]

American married couple, one is 62, other is 35. The 62 year old can get a NON-O, but what type of visa for the under 50 person ?  We are thinking of soft power DTV ?

The younger can get a non-O piggy-backing on the others non-O.  And should they get an extension to stay long term can do the same on that also.  The older should get their non-o first and the younger shortly after, as the olders visa will be needed for the application.

 

Non-Immigrant O (Visiting Non-Thai Family Residing in Thailand)

The following documents must be uploaded in the E-visa system in large and clear JPEG or PDF format (the file size must not exceed 3MB):

2. Photograph of the applicant, taken within the past six months
3. Document indicating current location (driver's license, bank statement, or proof of stay)
4. A copy of a recent savings or checking bank statement showing an ending balance of at least $1,000 per person or $2,000 per family, with the applicant's name and date. If submitting a family bank statement (joint account), proof of relationship (e.g., birth certificate, marriage certificate) must be provided 
5. Personal details of a non-Thai family member in Thailand, such as a valid government-issued ID card, passport with Thai visa page, work permit, or stay permit in Thailand 
6. Proof of relationship to a non-Thai family member in Thailand (immediate family only), such as a copy of the marriage certificate, birth certificate, or adoption certificate

Older can get retirement permission to stay

Younger can get the same as a dependant.

OP, the younger would need to obtain non O prior to entering Thailand.

Then can piggyback on older retirement extension

Thanks, so after the older one gets his NON-O, submit the above on the E-Visa system ?

All non-O visas are good for 90 days.  Assuming 62 gets an annual extension then 35 can do the same.

To best understand non O ....it's a single entry visa that gives a 90 day stamp (permission of stay) 

Prior to expiry of that 90 days you obtain a 12 month extension.

Ongoing to live in Thailand you keep extending (annually) your permission of stay. 

You are not extending the Non O visa (it's used) 

Note if you wish to exit Thailand you need to buy a reentry permit..
