Hello all,

Thank you so much for your advice regarding a retirement visa here in Thailand.

I have just learned about the" Long term residence working from Thailand" visa and now think this would actually be more suitable.

I believe I fulfill all the requirements, and as it is quite new, was wondering do any of you have any experience of it?

Thank you for any advice, it is ALL really appreciated.

If you will work in Thailand either remotely or otherwise then a retirement visa is not suitable for you anyway as you're not allowed to work. There are only two options that allow you to work remotely, the DTV based on Workation or the LTR Work From Thailand Professional. The latter is quite difficult to obtain as not only must you have an income of 80k USD per annum you must work for either a public company or a company with a turnover in excess of 50m USD over the last 3 years
