I'm on the Thai E-visa website completing an application for a Non-O visa.
I've attached a few screenshots of the key parts of the application.
What is a Letter of qualification endorsement issued from Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), how do I get one, and what difference does it make if I'm applying for a retirement visa and have no intention to work? A bank statement I could understand. This? ???
I am looking into the LTR wealthy pensioner visa but can't find how they determine the $80k passive income. Is this income pre or post tax? If you have income which is tax free say from ISA's do you ( if the passive income is pre tax) add on the tax that would have been paid when demonstrating the $80 k income? I am unsure how you treat a pension income which is pre tax and other income which either post or no tax?
I’ll do my first 1 year O A extension in the next couple weeks.
As soon as that is done I will start on the LTR.
To be safe I will wait until my home country 2024 tax return is done since that combined with other documents should clearly demonstrate the annual income. I also need to get my name on the house, which should take a couple months.
I’d rather avoid an agent and going thru the requirements on the BOI site everything seems fairly straightforward.
Have just got a reply this morning on my LTV , the letter from BIO Thailand was rejected so can't go any further with it , all requirements were meet , have a paid for villa there for our retirement any body had this happen and what's the next step , thanks
Hi everyone, I am trying to seek advise with regards to my WP and extension of stay on my non b visa. Currently, my work permit and visa extension is dated til 2nd October. I will not be continuing work with the current company (BOI). Will I have to cancel the WP and extension of stay on my own ? And how should I do it ? Many thanks in advance.
We have finally confirmed that the perfect visa for us is the Smart Visa🙌🏻
We would like to go to an office that specializes in this type of Visa (the Smart Visa), one that has already had experience with this type of visa, so they can assist us perfectly without experimenting with our case.
Could someone please provide us with the contact information for a specialized office?
And if anyone wants to share their experience with the Smart Visa, we would greatly appreciate it. 🙏🏻
I completed my application along with all requested documents to BOI for Retirement Visa on Jul1. Current status shows - Under Consideration by Govt agencies.
Question...How do I check the status of my application?
I could use some help! I've applied for the work-from-Thailand visa, and most of my documents have been accepted—except for my master's degree. I initially sent the confirmation letter from my university's registry, but they requested the original certificate. I sent it as a JPEG, but they asked again, so I sent it in PDF format. Now they're requesting it again, and I'm at a bit of a loss on what to do next.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Update: they replied “ Dear Patrick BlackRock,
You are advised to contact the Printing Shops instead of scanning such documents yourself or using mobile phone.” But I don’t have the original, only files on my phone.
I just completed the LTR pensioner, went seamless. A few things to note; first there are some posts that say you can pay various ways. There are only two, cash or Thai bank transfer, that's it. You're at Chomchuri Square and pay at the same Immigration window everyone else does.
The second thing, it reads as if you get a work permit with the LTR visa, you don't. You're just eligible to get one via the BOI-LTR online system and you don't count as a foreign employee. You still have to have a registered Thai company hire/sponsor you. Spare the Mods and post any questions about WP's to the appropriate forums. I don't have anymore information anyway.
Process takes 1-1.5 hours, maybe less. However, if you have the 11-12 appointment slot you may have to come back after lunch. Like all other visa's, after the nice people at the BOI do there thing, the completed docs go to immigration for review and final approval, this can take some time. The last part as always is pay your fee then turn in you're visa application and passport at the Immigration window to be stamped. The only difference is you don't have to Que:)
I'm not including BOI steps here because it will vari and you will have someone assist you start to finish including walking thru the Immigration office and an out-brief when your done.
