My retired 75 year old father (Aus citizen) has been offered a job in Bangkok as a management consultant. It's a 1+1 year contract and he intends to apply for the pension when he returns to Sydney after the stint. What visa would people recommend he apply for during his time in Bangkok? He's supposed to start in Q4. Should he go for a retirement visa or get his company to apply for a work visa (is he too old for this?) Thanks ๐
TLDR : Answer Summary
The recommended visa for your father is a Non-B visa, which requires sponsorship from his employer. A work permit is necessary as he cannot work on a retirement visa. Several community members emphasize that he should rely on the company to arrange the work permit and discuss concerns about working at his age.
