ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
At 60 years old, if you plan to work for a Thai company while spending significant time in Thailand, it's important to note that you cannot work on a retirement visa. Instead, you should apply for a Non-B visa, which enables you to obtain a work permit. While there were comments regarding the potential benefits of a Long-Term Residence visa (LTR), those considering work must prioritize securing the correct visa type that allows for employment.
