ORIGINAL POSTER
A languange school provided this information about an ED visa to learn Thai language:

“Thailand immigration has regulations for the age range from 18 - 49 years old can apply for student visa ( ED Visa ).”

Is this a correct statement??

TLDR : Answer Summary
The statement that Thailand's immigration regulations allow individuals aged 18 to 49 to apply for a student visa (ED Visa) is accurate. However, comments indicate that individuals over 50 are generally encouraged to apply for a retirement visa instead of an ED visa, as immigration offices may prefer this option for those qualifying based on age.

Yep. If you're 50+ you can get a retirement visa. You've got the money, so get the visa

Some immigration offices frown on those over 50 using an ED visa when they qualify for retirement instead.
