What visa options are available for someone under 50 with cognitive impairment in Thailand?
Hello, is there a Visa for someone who is under 50 not a digital nomad (no online presence)has cognitive impairment cannot complete courses for ED visa?
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the visa options available in Thailand for individuals under 50, particularly someone with cognitive impairments. Commenters suggest the Elite Visa or Privilege Visa as suitable options, which can provide long-term residency without the complexities of other visa types like ED (Education) visa. They mentioned that for a dependent with disabilities, a medical report confirming dependency is often required. Other suggestions included the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) for medical treatment if applicable, and the multiple entry Tourist Visa as a potential temporary solution. Overall, the conversation highlights various pathways for individuals facing challenges in meeting visa requirements.

You may qualify for a DTV Destination Thailand Visa based on medical grounds if you are receiving regular medical treatment or consultation in Thailand..
The DTV Visa does allow application for medical treatments..

I am under 50 with disability pension on DTV. I guess ED is not for me as i got kicked out of private Language classrs because the teacher didn’t believe my story about the stroke. With all the paperwork from the Thai Hospital and bank balance, it was a smooth process

OPThank you all for your comments. I was asking for my developmentally delayed 39 year old daughter. We are going to go with the Privilege Visa for 5 years. Since I will be on the retirement Visa the Bronze membership makes the most sense.

Victoria Lee You might consider a DTV going the medical route if your daughter can get diagnosed here and a regular treatment plan lasting at least 6 months. And save you hundreds of thousands for the same 5 years.

Wannikea Wanblee have to do a border run every 6 months on DTV though so I’m sure they want to avoid that
James *********
A DTV used to be granted due to having just one medical appointment. . . Just saying.

Yes, it's called 'marriage visa'... 😆

Treatment for things like ADHD, ADD etc. are probably not frequent enough for medical treatment visa.

You used to be able to get a 1yr retirement visa under 50, for disability, only from outide Thailand, if you had a pension, but it wasn't extendable. Dont think you can now tho...
I did 5 year Thailand Elite visa, now known as Privilege Visa. The least stressful visa available, but costs more now

Simon Roberts I remember these days, too. I met a 47-year Swiss guy in Cha Am on a disability pension, and both embassy and Immigration allowed him to live on the "1-year retirement extension". This was in 2006. I cannot recall having read any more report

Greg Folden You can only stop for a maximum of 60 days ,then you have to leave Thailand to get another 60 on your return to Thailand. Not the best option but it can work.

Simon Adams you can extend for another 30. Are you visiting or planning on long time
