ORIGINAL POSTERHey guys.
Need some advise, as every consultant I reach out to won't answer a simple question.
For LTR wealthy pensioners visa, it says you need a passive income of 80k USD or 40K USD with an investment of 250K USD in Thailand.
All I need to know is whether dividends from my own company (essentially set up like a holding company), is considered legitimate for this calculation or does it have to be from a non arms reach source?
Thanks in advance!

Perhaps Consultants do not understand your question.
What language do you use to communicate?
Why expect self-certification to be part of Immigration Bureau’s procedures?

If you ever have a question like this it is always best to consult the BOI Representatives directly. They respond quickly and are very helpful

Passive income is income which you don't work for. Dividends, rental income etc

I'm fairly sure all dividends count as passive income but ask the BOI directly. They're very responsive

Contact them and or apply and submit it and see what they say. It doesn’t cost anything to just apply.
