I started the process of reaching out to attorneys to obtain the wealthy pensioner LTR Visa, in terms of getting rates and doing my due diligence. The going rate seems to be Pretty expensive, $1,500 for primary and $750 per dependent.

I was in discussion with this one attorney who I believed was a good fit. However, I am bit of an anxious person, upon reaching out he would either ask for a clearer copy of my passport, additional income or request a few more days to respond. As such, I decided to complete the application myself. I have to say it was much easier than I thought. Fingers crossed. Hoping to move on to the next stage.

Hello Everyone

I wish to apply for the Thai LTR visa in a few months and would like to engage a highly trustworthy Immigration Law firm in Bangkok. I have two questions - please share your experience/insights:

1) Does it help an applicant in any manner to meet and apply directly with the BOI representatives, versus going through an agent/law firm (other than saving $$)?

2) Which intermediary do you recommend to secure my visa - Harvey Law Group vs Siam Legal vs Baan Thai vs Fragomen - or any other name you think to suggest? A secondary criteria for making my choice is that they should be able to assist with obtaining Medical Insurance and guide in future relocation matters.

Thank you for all your inputs. 🙏

Hello everyone. Thanks for the invite or add!

I need help with the LTR visa?

I am applying for the long-term resident visa , is there any benefit to picking it up before entering the country? I could fly down to LA if I had to, if there is any advantage.

Also I was just told this by the person answering ltr visa questions. But I’m not sure what this means in practice “The pre-screening document service is currently unavailable. You are advised to submit your visa application, along with the required documents into the system first. Our staff will begin reviewing your application once submitted.”

Can someone show me what the Long Term Retirement visa looks like please. I'm applying for mine here in Thailand via an agent which will cost me £500 instead of £1500 via my embassy, but I just want to make sure it's legit, although it's been recommended by someone who has done it via them.

Hey can you update regarding opening a business and settling in Thailand?

Hello! Is there anyone here who owns a BOI (Board of Investment) company? We have an approved company, and now are adding 2 foreign employees. They just successfully got their visa stamp in Malaysia!

Now I know we have 3 months to get this completely finished with immigration as well as the labor department. Has anyone been through this process? What paperwork is required from immigration and labor department? Which do we have to go to first?

BOI companies are SO different from standard Thai companies, there is not much info out there.

Any input would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations of a professional, with knowledge of Smart Visa and eligible projects, or who can assist me to register a startup e-commerce for selling digital product only.

Hi folks, we are in Koh Phangan and want a business visa soon... so any advice or any businesses for sale let us know.. we will do electrical/electronics business

I am working on the paperwork from my Non-B visa and Work Permit. Part of the application paperwork for my Non-B is a Cooperation Letter from BOI. The company I am/will work for is a BOI registered company but I am not sure what this letter is all about. It is item #15 of the checklist of requirements if you are familiar with that form. I am the first employee to go through this process so it's on me to figure out how it's done. Any guidance would be appreciated.
