ORIGINAL POSTER

I have an O-A visa with related annual retirement extensions. I am thinking about going back to university here in Thailand to get higher academic degree. I know one can not work with a retirement visa/extension, but is there any prohibition about attending a university degree program?

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can attend a university degree program in Thailand with an O-A retirement visa, as there are no prohibitions against studying. However, it's important to note that while you are allowed to study, you cannot work while holding this type of visa.
