Looking for information on the easiest way to apply for  LTR wealthy pension visa.

Do I apply outside or do I come on a visa exempt and apply inside of Thailand- which is better?

 Thank you for your advice

Answer summary

The easiest way to apply for the LTR Wealthy Pension Visa depends largely on how you qualify for the required $80,000/year passive income. If you have a pension meeting this requirement, applying from abroad may be more straightforward. However, for those intending to use other income sources, applying from within Thailand could involve more extensive discussions about income verification. Processing times can vary significantly, with some applicants completing their process in under a month, while others face delays due to complex financial situations. Thorough preparation of documentation, including insurance details, is crucial for a smooth application.

I would say that it depends on how you plan to qualify for the $80,000/yr passive income. Do you have pension income that meets that amount? or are you going to propose some other types of income as passive.

If you have pension income of $80,000/yr then assume that it will take at least one month to process your application. If you are planning to use other sources of income as passive income then you may have a lot of discussion about your income sources that could take a considerable amount of time. The same issue applies to the insurance you plan to use to meet the insurance requirements. You would think 90 days would be enough but it will depend on how simple your finances and insurance are.

When I applied I had pension income that qualified and I had a thai insurance policy already. My application was as simple as it gets.

I've read accounts of people getting it done in less than a month and others that just gave up because they couldn't meet the requirements when they originally thought they could.
