Hello,

My husband and are are planning a move to Thailand. We plan on spending 5-6 months in a row in the country each year.

We are US citizens

We make 2,000 a month (social security)

We have 210K USD in savings

My husband is 69 years old

I am 39 yrs old.

We currently live in France.

We are planning on purchasing a rental property that will increase our income to 4,000 USD per month.

Can we get a DTV as retired people?

Hello friends, have a question about the LTR visa - specifically the "High income foreign individuals" category, since I am under 50 and don't qualify for the LTR Retiree option. As far as I understand, there are 3 main requirements - $1m+ net worth, $500k investment, and $80k/year income proof for past 2 years. I meet the 1st and 3rd criteria, but I am confused about the $500k investment, and would like to hear from anyone who has successfully used this option. Do you first make the investment, and then apply for the visa? And if so, is the Thai bonds a safer way to apply, compared to property investment? My concern is that after putting $500k in property, what if the visa is denied? Would it be safer to put $500k in Thai bonds, and then once approved, can I use that money to buy property? Thank you in advance for your time!
