What is the most convenient visa option for someone over 50 with 80,000 Baht or who is married to a Thai national?

David ************

I’m married to and thought the extension of stay due to retirement was easier and went that route. I was going to switch when I got married and my local immigration office suggested I stay with what I have (retirement) as it’s less hassle. I can’t work on this one though, but I Don’t want to either. Lol

Can a person under 50 with early retirement in their home country obtain a retirement visa in Thailand?

David ************

Not sure how giving half a million baht every so many years is cost effective. Can you explain the math. I’m curious to know as probably others may as well as a better option.

I retired at 45 and told no. 50 was the the rule for min age. Many come at 50 meeting requirements and are not yet retired.
