Should I choose a marriage visa or a retirement visa in Thailand?
I’ll qualify for both, a marriage and a retirement visa next year. Which is the best choice?
Answer summary
The question compares the benefits of a marriage visa versus a retirement visa for someone who qualifies for both. One commenter notes that, despite the common terms, there is effectively no distinction between the two visas in Thailand, suggesting that the differences are minimal.

No difference, in Thailand there is no such thing as a marriage or a retirement visa. This question is asked and explained a little earlier today so use the search option. Good luck.
