Not sure if this is the right place for this question but the more I read the more confused I get. Is having your Social security direct deposited into a Thai account better or should I keep it in my US bank and do monthly transfers? Thanks in advance

Ok.. so I’m here on 60 day visa exempt and want to get a Non O retirement visa(90 days and extend for one year)

If understand correctly I can apply online using evisa while here and once I have the confirmation email, print it out and do a boarder run and this then gets stamped for 90 days?

Has anyone done the 90 day report in Bangkok recently? Which office did you go to and how long approximately did you wait?

Would appreciate any info!

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!
