# Thanks for the invite! I am 60 years old and recently retired. My wife is only 46. We are citizens of the US. We are thinking of Chiang Rai because of the air quality and smaller size of the city. We are trying to figure out the best way to obtain the visa. For myself it looks like the O-A visa for one year is our best option (though renewing every year seems like a hassle). The O-X for five years seems nice, but we hate to lock-in a good chunk of money in a bank account just sitting there unused. We do have investments at Fidelity that has partnered with the Krungthai Bank, but even if we tied our accounts to that bank, not sure if it counts as a "fixed" deposit even if my pension went into the account (the Thai Bank would still have a fairly low balance). Now concerning my wife, I heard there is an "O" visa that attaches to mine "O-A" visa? I am not sure how this works. Is it still for a year? What is needed on her end? I truly appreciate any help that you can give! Thank you.

Was recently approved for the LTR visa( Pensioner). Took approximately 2.5 months from application to approval. I elected to process the application myself , as fairly easy to do , albeit a lot of paper. I provided two years of bank statements to support passive income, outside of my pension income which was supported by income tax documents. Be aware though you require to have medical insurance (Thai) in place as part of the application and needs to cover up to at least 10 months while in Thailand.

I elected to go the LTR route as while presently hold the Elite visa, it expires next year and felt the amount required to renew wasn’t justified, or the “benefits” of the elite visa didn’t make sense for me.

Hi everyone , I have applied for the new 10 year evisa and it's asking for a letter of acknowledgement , getting so confused as I thought this was for them to give after the application was considered ,if so where do I get one from , the visa is ltr pensioner TIA

Is there an agent with experience in getting a pensioner LTR organized for a Dubai resident?

Hi All

My wealthy pensioner LTR visa under BOI was rejected after almost 4 months of waiting. All supporting documents were provided. I am eligible for sure but now they have decided I don’t qualify. I called to ask them the reason and I was told even they don’t know as it was rejected by the Immigration. This makes no sense, and I am quite lost at this point. I had applied online by myself as it seemed straightforward.

Anyone has had a similar experience? Can I reapply?

I have a doubt about pensioner visa. Should 800000 baths be deposited for three months? And the duration of the visa is one year? To renew it I have to do the same process with the money... every month for the same amount?

Tengo una duda con respecto a la visa para jubilados. Los 800000 baths deben depositarse por tres meses? Y la duración de la visa es un año? Para renovarla debo hacer el mismo proceso con el dinero… cada mes por la misma cantidad?

Can someone recommend an insurance agent who can arrange the medical insurance coverage necessary for the LTR visa?

I’ve seen references to both a “long term residence” visa and a “long term retirement” visa. Are these the same thing?

Can O show 90 days for pensioners be extended with another 30 days of immigration in TH? What are the conditions in that case?

Kan O visa 90 dagar för pensionärer förlängas med ytterligare 30 dgr av immigration i TH? Vilka är villkoren i så fall?

Hi all. I heard about a 20 year visa for 1 million baht. Elite visa. Anyone have experience to share please 🙏. Thank you.
