The actual short–term, Non–degree courses can run no longer than 180 days and there's a linked database between the Thai Immigration Bureau (สตม) and the Ministry of Higher Education (กระทรวงอุดมศึกษา) reporting and monitoring actual attendance of all foreign students enrolled, that is, those foreign students who the school submits paperwork to apply for those ED Visa's/Extensions of Stay with the Thai Immigration Bureau (local Thai Immigration Offices)

from field reports, those with a Non–O (Retirement) or Retirement Extension of Stay have been considered to have a domicile in Thailand and denied either by the Thai Customs Officer inspecting the goods before Checking-in at Airport Departures, or, by the VAT Refund Counter Employee before the Airplane Boarding Gates

as the Thai Embassy in Paris from field reports here in this Facebook Group and other Groups and Forums is known to be one of the slowest to process any Thai E–Visa Application among all of the 94 Thai Embassies/Thai Consulates around the world, the OP should be fine for a Non–O E–Visa as the validity of Single Entry Non–O or Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) E–Visa's is usually 90 Days and factor in over a full month for E–Visa Processing at the Thai Embassy in Paris and planned Entry Date into Thailand around 13 December 2025

FYI—

For anyone applying for any type of Thai E–Visa at any Thai Embassy/Thai Consulate around the world, but specifically for the Thai Embassy in London:

"...

All applicants must be residing within the UK/Ireland/UK territories when apply for the Visa. The Royal Thai Embassy has the right to cancel the visa applications should you fail to provide the evidence of your presence within the UK/Ireland/UK territories while applying for the visa.

Did you contact the LTR Visa Office to perhaps get a Certification/Confirmation Letter of sorts issued by the LTR Visa Office to bring with you to the bank?
