Is it 500,000 cumulatively across all statements, effectively showing a final (current) balance of 500,000 OR is it 500,000 shown in each statement?

Thanks!

Having received my approval for the Thailand LTR Visa issuance for Wealthy Pensioner, I'd like to give some information I have learned from the process. I started the process mid-March 2025 and had to provide updates upon two requests from the Thai BOI.

Here are my thoughts on submissions:

1. Medical(Tricare): I am retired US Navy. I received a letter from the US Defense Health Agency outlining that I have Tricare Overseas that met and exceeded the $100,000 minimum coverage. Additionally, I clipped pages from the Tricare Overseas Program (TOP) Provider Manual which broke down the Inpatient, Outpatient, and Emergency Coverage Limits.

2. Medical(Civilian): I would advise providing a policy statement and the respective coverage limits.

3. Income Verification(Annuities): Obtain annuity confirmation letters outlining annual or monthly income from wherever you obtain your income. I obtained letters from the DFAS website(Navy), OPM(Government), and from Social Security. I did not include my investment dividends for my submission.

4. Bank Statements: I only provided one year's worth of monthly statements.

5. With the initial submission and with the followup requests for additional information, you have to merge all documents into one PDF relative to the respective data for that field(ie medical, income, ...). I added a business cover letter to each of these outlining them as attachments and a definition of each. I believe the initial evaluators of your data, although english speakers, may not have the comprehensive knowledge of your specific data, so it's best to succinctly clarify them in your letter.

I believe the follow on requests for data regarding my application was definitely my own doing and circumstance. If anyone submitting has a question, please do not hesitate to ask me. My response to you will only be based on my own experience and may exceed the requirements for your specific submission of data.

I wish you good fortune in your submission for the LTR Visa!

So I was told you are only a tax resident in Thailand if you stay more than 180 days and have a Thai Bank account

Information for educational visa in thailand.

There are two types one is for university study and the one I am giving information on is "Soft Power Education" this includes thai boxing language and such

There is two things to this. The soft power education visa is permission from the Educational Ministry to learn for one year.

What you get from immigration is a 3 month stamp that you have to extend with fee 1900 baht ( 50 USD ) also ontop of this you still have to check in every 90 days which can be done on an app on your phone or in-person at immigration office.

If you miss extension or have to leave for any reason and you mis the time frame to extend you have to start back over and the educational visa is 20,000 baht .. ( 500 )

I just did this today and was given full explanation by the school doing my visa.

Hope this helps someone else 🙏 and I was explained that bank accounts are not given for these soft power education or hard to get just FYI

May I seek any kind advise?

I am heading to Thailand for an urgent medical treatment and will be reentering Thailand (60 visa exemption + 30days) at least twice.

Can I ask if the above arrangement, would I be liable for tax in Thailand?

Any kind advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I did everything through issa compass agency because I was rejected the first attempt because of my complicated surname and i didnt want to risk it again. I paid around 5k baht for the service and they refund you everything (including government fees) if rejected. The documents were the usuals.

The wait was excruciating but finally it's here, thank for this group for all your advice and support.

Courage to everyone still waiting.

Hi there, just wondering where does everyone add on their cover letter with brief explanation of intent to apply for the dtv? Does it go in one pdf just before the financial evidence or my softpower documents? Another thing would be, if my muay thai courses will be in bangkok, can I provide travel details for another city, as we had plans to travel around first?Thanks!

This is a TM30 question ( I have browsed previous posts but can't find an answer). I left Thailand in late April but had signed a contract for a new apartment, starting 1 May. I will not return to Thailand until late July. Landlord is asking re the TM30 form. From what I have read here, I need to ( or my landlord) needs to submit the form on my return and not now (as you need an entry stamp to upload). I do have a re-entry permit. Many thanks for any clarification.
