Is there a maximum age for obtaining an education visa in Thailand?
Is there a maxi.um age for education visa?
Answer summary
The conversation discusses whether there is a maximum age limit for obtaining an education visa in Thailand. While there is no official age limit for the education visa itself, there are anecdotal reports of individuals over 45 being discouraged or advised to apply for a retirement visa instead. The advice may vary by embassy or immigration office, as some may prefer older applicants to pursue retirement visas. Overall, it seems that while an education visa can technically be obtained at any age, practical circumstances may lead to age-related complications.

Depends on the embassy or immigration office. Some might have a policy of requiring someone 50 or over to apply for a retirement visa instead, since you can study on any visa.
