Is there an age limit for applying for a Thai marriage visa?
Hi i have been told that i cannot apply for a thai marriage visa at age 74 is that correct or false advice
Answer summary

Get a retirement visa instead, it’s just a safer choice all round, especially if you have children and assets in your home country.

Just plain ridiculous comment, explain how a retirement visa is 'safer' than a marriage visa when visas are absolutely nothing to do with any potential marriage breakdown.Bill *********
Jeff Meyer Absolutely safer. After the marriage has run its course do you want to have your future life in Thailand determined by the whim of a moody female? It's certainly smarter to be on an independent Visa.

No age limitations. But for what? Retirement visa is much better if you do not need work permit. If not enough money any visa agent can help you.
Jeff *******
Alexey Shipulin Why is it 'better'? For a start with a marriage visa you don't need to tie any money up if you transfer just 40k a month into Thailand, (65k for retirement) - how is it better? Then of course you go on to suggest doing it illegally so I think safe to ignore your advice

@Mark *********
In the unlikely event that someone at immigration directly told you this, thats because they cannot get kickbacks from marriage visas but can from retirement. They are always trying to convert people for that very reason. Just politely tell them thanks, but no thanks.
Thai *******
@Mark *********
it might be down to how long you have been married for? If it's a few weeks then there might be a holding limit?

False. There is no age restrictions to apply for a visa based on being married to a Thai
