Has someone ever gone from retirement visa into visa through work permit? Or is retirement the final destination so to speak...
Answer summary
The retirement visa in Thailand is work restricted, meaning that if someone wishes to obtain a work permit, they must transition off the retirement visa and apply for a new NON-B visa.

retirement visa and extensions is work restricted. If you want a work permit you would have to get off of the retirement visa/extension and then apply for a new non-B visa.
