I’m 42 and retired. I hit all the requirements of an O Visa aside from the “+50 years old” thing. Is there nothing I can do to get the O visa? Can I write a letter to the government calling them reverse-ageists?
Do you see this age/retirement connection disappearing anytime soon?
(Technically, I work for fun, but I can stop if they want me to!)
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user inquires about obtaining a Thai O Visa despite being retired but under 50 years old. The community suggests alternatives such as the Elite Visa, which caters to younger retirees, and mentions other visa options like the Non-Immigrant Investment Visa or education-related visas. The consensus is that current regulations are unlikely to change soon, and the retirement requirement may not accommodate younger applicants.
