to be in a certain age?

Dear All,

Is it correct to say:

1) He's not in the age to get a visa in this country.
2) He's beyond the age requirement for a visa in this country.

I don't know if in a certain age is correct or not.

Thanks

Perfect Stranger I don't know if in a certain age is correct or not. No; 'of' a certain age. However, both of your sentences are ambiguous at best.
