10,000 student visas of foreign nationals who failed to meet the required criteria. Many visa holders abused student visas by not genuinely enrolling in courses or attending classes, using the visas to stay in Thailand unlawfully or work illegally. An enforcement issue nothing to do with retirement.

Colin **********
