ORIGINAL POSTER

My western wife and myself having been coming to Phuket for 20 years. 

Since COVID we have been spending more time here. Was looking at LTV but after a discussion with the Thai Embassy in London and change to 60 days on arrival with 30 day extension the Embassy suggested I drop the LTV application.

However it now looks like it will go back to 30 on arrival so I am back looking at LTV. We have income and assets in UK to qualify but what will the Embassy accept as proof??

Thanks for any advice

All the information is available on the Thai visa website but I am surprised that the Embassy in London were not able to tell you. Also the change back to 30 days has not happened and now looks as if it may not happen at all so no need to factor that in.

Consider asking the embassy for accurate information

LTR visa, not LTV. For US applicants, the Thailand BOI normally wants copies of annual tax returns, though there are exceptions. When exceptions are warranted, they’ll often accept passive income verification letters. Each case is handled on its own merits. The folks at the BOI are exceptionally fluent in English, which makes back-&-forth comms with them very easy & fruitful.

I assume you mean LTR visa for a Wealthy Pensioner? They will only accept either $80k USD in passive income, or $40k USD in passive income plus an investment in Thailand. Passive income must be actually passive income, it can't me in investment account, pension account etc. Drop the BOI a message, they're very helpful
