Can my retired parents apply for a retirement visa in Thailand without a state pension?

ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello, everyone, I need some advice or suggestions, please.

My parents are Pakistani Citizens, and I wish to apply for their retirement visa once they reach Thailand.

The issue is that I have been told to apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa and then, once they land in Thailand, convert to a Retirement Visa.

Here is the problem now, when I see the Thai Embassy site here, it says "Retirement (Pensioners aged 50 or above with state pension who wishes to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 Days)."

However, they do not get state pension. They have their own savings and retired individuals from private sector.

So, is it not possible to do tourist visa and then get an agent to convert to Non O and then retirement visa in Thailand.

Please suggestions would be highly appreciated thank you.
