A question: Is there an upper age limit for a DTV visa? For example, can a 61-year-old man obtain a DTV visa?
Answer summary
There is no upper age limit for obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand. Various comments indicate that people as old as 65 or even 90 have successfully obtained this visa. The primary concern for approval appears to be the ability to make payments rather than age. Additionally, some users recommend considering the NON-O retirement visa as a more suitable option for older applicants.

At this age, a Non-O retirement visa would be more suitable; you can use a service to assist with the process if needed.

Paul Baker Which option would you recommend for applying for a DTV visa at this age? (Some say that remote work is not acceptable due to being 61 years old.)
