Update:

All approved without any further documents. Submitted as advised here, for which thanks to all.

Update 2.

Spouse/dependant visa now in too. 10 working days on the button. RTE Cambodia, no further docs.

Phew.

Anyway, apart from patience I learned a new skill at least: creating, merging and compacting PDFs!

Hello.

I own and run a portfolio of 9 UK rental properties remotely from Thailand and Cambodia. I have retirement visas in both and own a property in Thailand - usually need to fly back to the UK several times a year - and would like to change from retirement visa to DTV

On reading other people's experiences here, I've just opened a Ltd company with me as director.

Advice please on how to write the letter to myself saying I can operate this remotely.

Also, should I mention the property in Thailand/submit the yellow book?

Reason for wanting to change to DTV is that it isn't easy to have one's (in my case Cambodian) spouse accompany one on a retirement visa anymore (this is confirmed by Thai embassy, Cambodia). We will be applying in Cambodia.

Many thanks for your input

anyone apply using rental property and/or military VA benefits as sources of income for the dtv?

Hi everyone i have a some questions about elite visa. İf i take elite visa(5years) and after buy house. Can I rent that house with airbnb? İm asking this because when i take elite visa i wont be have working visa. Pls help me 💛

In regards to the work around of returning to country of origin and getting a new Visa after letting current one lapse...I am seeing no changes in the Los Angeles or DC consulates/ embassy's websites regarding the requirements for "retirement visas". Am I "safe" in assuming that we can get new Visas using things like investment income and rental property?

From Today Daniel's latest post I see no softening in the requirements for Visas or extension in country.
