Odd-frequency superconductivity has been predicted to arise in various physical systems, including multiband materials, and is known to lead to phenomena such as the unusual Meissner response and long-range proximity effect [1]. The emergence of odd-frequency superconductivity is often explained in terms of a condition derived up to first order in the superconducting order parameter [2], leaving higher order corrections unaccounted. Here, we extend this analysis and derive the odd-frequency condition involving higher-order contributions of the order parameter, as well as a generalized expression valid to all orders. In addition, we explore the conditions for the emergence of odd-frequency correlations between individual bands. This allows us to identify cases where the structure of the Hamiltonian inherently forbids odd-frequency pairing. As an example, we apply our condition to a weakly coupled system consisting of a transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer proximitzed by a conventional spin-singlet s-wave superconductor.
