@Todd ********
I thought I read it right. “LTR (long term residency) visa is your answer”. Well, it’s not his best answer if talking about the wealthy pensioner LTR, which you didn’t specify which LTR you were recommending. So I don’t think anyone needs any blame here. But if there must be blame, color me guilty. 🤷🏼♂️Todd *********
@Greg ********
is that your way of saying ‘I totally can’t read’ but it’s your fault lol. Apology acceptedGreg *********
@Todd ********
Take a breath and eat a Snickers bar, Todd. I told you I thought you were telling him about the wealthy pensioner LTR, which requires you to be 50, so my input was relevant. We had a misunderstanding. No reason for being so snarky.Todd *********
@Greg ********
no shit. The guy is under 50. So you are helping nothing here. If he qualified for LTR, it’s the best visa in Thailand.Greg *********
@Todd ********
Depends on which LTR. You do for wealthy pensioner, which is what I was referring to.

Elite vis for 5 years 10 years work for you

I am 43 years old and I have been retired for a month.

@Jasim *******************
at the age of 43 you cannot apply for a Non-Imm-O retirement visa. You need to be 50 years to be able to obtain it, regardless if you are retired or notPhil ******

ok at the moment if not working here or have family your only other longer term is the privilege visas or the dtv. Have a look on the evisa site as its got a lot of base informationActivity
