A visa agency told me because I am 66 years old I can’t get an education visa    Any truth to that???

Answer summary

The claim that individuals aged 66 cannot obtain an education visa in Thailand holds some truth. In certain provinces, immigration officials may prefer that seniors apply for a retirement visa instead, which is deemed easier to obtain. Additionally, it's noted that individuals on a retirement visa are still permitted to study.

Retirement visa is easier than ED visa, and you can still study on retirement visa

I am in the same situation but only 54. I would love to do a retirement visa when I return to Thailand this coming summer because I do want to learn the language and can’t afford the retirement requirements yet. Some institutions won’t accept students over 50

I don’t need to deposit any funds on a retirement visa so the ED visa is more practical plus I want to learn the language anyway

We've had similar reports in the past from some areas. The immigration in some provinces wants you to get a retirement visa if you're old enough to do so.
