TLDR : Answer Summary
The age requirement for a retirement visa in Thailand has not changed and remains at 50 years old. Some confusion arises from the 60-year retirement age for Thai government workers, which does not affect foreign nationals.

The 60 age requirement refers to the age at which Thai government workers must retire. It has nothing to do with the age foreigners must be to qualify for a retirement visa extension, which is 50
