Hi!
Hoping to get clarity and some help from all.
Just got my final approval document for thr LTR Wealthy Pensioner. Yay!
It was my understanding that I would next have to get a stamp issued in my passport. I live in
NYC.
Called NYC embassy twice-of course 2 different answers. They are now telling me i need to apply for the e-visa. Once that’s done i will get another document that i am supposed to take with me upon my next arrival in Thailand to get the stamp in my passport.
I litetally just got back and plan on moving permanently Oct 1. The issuance is valid for 60 days so does that mean i have to fly to Thailand to get the stamp, come back, them move on Oct 1?? Ugh. Or would the e-visa document give me a new timeline?
Any info greatly appreciated
Thx all.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user has received final approval for the LTR Wealthy Pensioner visa and seeks clarification on the next steps needed to obtain the stamp in their passport. They are confused about the conflicting information received from the NYC embassy, specifically whether they need to apply for an e-visa and if they have to travel to Thailand within the 60-day validity period to get the stamp. Responses from the community highlight that currently, embassies no longer issue physical stamps and that applicants should apply for an e-visa, which will allow them to have the necessary documentation for their arrival in Thailand and potentially provide a new timeline for travel.
