For the LTR wealthy pensioner. What do you need to prove the monthly passive income requirement? Retirement pay stubs? Or some other proof like bank account or other paperwork.

Does this money have to be transferred into Thailand somehow or can it just stay as passive income in my own US account?

Does the passive retirement income have to be earned and documented for a whole year before application?

Where do I look for health Insurance in Thailand for LTR compliance.

Anyone with experience or trouble getting the wealthy pension LTR, have any advice on pitfalls or helpful suggestions? Open to using a visa service, any suggestions? Is it Better to apply in or out of Thailand?

Thank you all. Sorry for long post.

Hello. is there anyone who can help with the application procsess?

my application got canceled 'because of Incorrect personal information'

maybe I had my last name twice in my application. EIFLER VINCENT EDGAR EIFLER

maybe that was already the problem..

Workcation Approved 🎉 (Manila)

I hope a delayed post is better than no post 555.

Timeline:

February 2nd: I applied and paid.

February 9th: Been asked for further documents and to arrive for an interview.

February 11th: Arrived for the interview. The interviewer was very friendly. Actually She was more curious about me and my laptop than my work. Later that day I was approved.

March 6th: Arrived in Thailand. No questions asked (Male Immigration Officer).

A note on printing: I printed and laminated my DTV. A6 wasn't available so I chose A4. Actually, it is very redundant IMO. The Thai officer had trouble getting the laminated visa into his scanner.

My notes:

In case your payslips aren't in English, you better translate and highlight parts of net income, month, annual salary...

In your bank flow - highlight the income that matches the payslips you attached.

Location risk: Not being near the embassy where you applied is a risk in case you are called for an interview. Do you really want to take that risk?

Regarding the wait: There was a week between my application and being summoned for an interview, but it actually took less time than it seems. This is because the Thai elections were held during those dates, there was a weekend, and I originally applied after business hours of the embassy.

In case you have a question I haven't replied to, I would be glad to answer :)

This group helped me a lot and now it's my (delayed) time to share!

Sequence of emails from 90 day online reporting. .

People ask all the time if they were approved when they filed their 90 day report online. This is how that works

When you file a 90 day report using the online web portal, the minute you submit it you get an email confirming you FILED a report online

That initial email is headered like this

[𝗧𝗠.𝟰𝟳] (𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗢 : *) 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝟵𝟬 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗗

That does not mean it was approved, doesn't mean it was rejected, just means they received your online 90 day report application and will process it

Then you wait to get one of two emails

You will either get this one

[𝗧𝗠.𝟰𝟳] (𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗢 : *) 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝟵𝟬 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗

which will have a PDF in it of your 90 day report receipt showing your next due date (which you print out and put in your passport)

OR

you will get this one

[𝗧𝗠.𝟰𝟳] (𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧 𝗡𝗢 : *) 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗙𝗬 𝗢𝗙 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗟𝗢𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝟵𝟬 𝗗𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗦 𝗕𝗘𝗘𝗡 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗘𝗗

which means for some reason (usually noted in the email) the report was not approved

You can apply again if you're within the window to apply, I once had to apply 4 times (was denied 3 times) because I couldn't get the address to match the TM30 exactly but got approved on the 4th try

DTV Approved.

After reading so many rejections I was getting worried but approval received. I made sure to provide all documents and clearly answer any questions they had. If you legitimately fit the criteria, the process is simple.

Timeline for reference:

March 13: DTV application submitted workcation (Malaysia)

March 18: Email received requesting for more documents:

• All passport pages

• Proof of prolonged residence in Thailand for at least 6 months

• Proof of salary slip/monthly income for the last 6 months.

• A copy of the company's registration/business license

• A professional portfolio and job presentation.

• Explain your job and position, and how it relates to DTV and Digital Nomads or Remote worker.

March 23: Approval

If rejected because you have submitted incorrect document can you reapply with the correct info?

It's me again, has anyone applied for LTR from Canada? We are contemplating to apply, how long was the process?.

Both of us are 60+

No specific amount in Thai bank, wealth can remain overseas.

Age (over 50) and passive income of at least 80,000 USD.

Can we apply when we arrive in Thailand and pay 50K THB or should we apply while we're in Canada? The Thai Consulate charges more than 50KTHB.

Am I missing any other info? Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏

Hi everyone, quick question for those who have applied for the Thailand DTV from Sri Lanka (or nearby embassies) recently.

I’m a U.S. passport holder planning to apply for the DTV (non–Soft Power) from Sri Lanka. My application is based on financial self-support and foreign-sourced remote income, not training or employment in Thailand.

I’ll be submitting:

* Bank statements showing I met the 500,000 THB equivalent requirement (USD)

* A short remote work declaration stating I don’t work for Thai entities

* Standard passport, photo, and proof of location documents

I’ve noticed some people mention uploading client contracts, invoices, business registration, or portfolios, while others didn’t.

My questions:

1. For those who applied from Sri Lanka, were bank statements + a remote work declaration sufficient?

2. Did anyone upload business documents, sales pages, invoices, or portfolios *without being asked*, and did it help?

3. If you were asked for additional info, what exactly did the embassy request?

4. How long was processing time from submission to decision?

Any recent firsthand experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks so much.

I want to apply for a residence certificate. Someone posted an excellent guide recently but although I have searched I cannot find it. I live with my partner at her house and my TM 30 is for that address. I am on the non-immigrant O visa for retirement.

Successful DTV extension at Bangkok, Chaengwattana - Teleworker (Digital Nomad)

Booked an appointment online under TR visa option as it's the same desk. Took about 3 hours in total to review the application, as well as giving me feedback and for me to gather the extra documents they requested. They gave me an "under consideration stamp" and asked me to come back 10 working days later. The second day I came back with the blue receipt, waited an hour and received the extension stamp for another 6 months stay in Thailand.

Documents submitted:

1. Cover letter

2. Application form TM7 + photo

3. Thai e-Visa print out of the DTV

4. Copy of passport data page and last arrival stamp

5. Proof of finances for 500,000 baht

- My finances are in an NZ bank account. They did not ask me to show proof of the funds in a Thai bank account.

- My bank statement did not have that day's date and final amount on the same line, so I had to transfer another dollar over so the date and amount were showing side by side.

- Last year when I tried to get an extension, I was denied because the NZD amount I had one month prior to requesting an extension was below the 500k amount. Fx had continually dropped, and although I had topped up the NZD amount accordingly, they had calculated the NZD amount one month prior using the fx of the day I went in for the extension. So now I keep more than 500k baht equivalent in my NZD bank to account for the fx fluctuations.

6. Current contract with clients

- Last year when I tried to get an extension, they requested that the letter was dated not more than one month ago. This time the letter was dated just over a month, but the officer didn't comment on this.

7. Proof of work

- Business registration documents, my CV, a few screenshots of my day-to-day (blurred sensitive info)

8. Copy of lease contract

9. Copy of title deed of condo owner

- If the person who signed the lease contract with you is not the owner (the title deed of the condo I'm renting had a company name) you will need another signed document that shows how the company, owner and signee are connected. I just asked the property agent for this and they were easily able to provide it.

10. Copy of previous 90 day stay notification 11. Current TM30

Some other notes:

- I took my laptop with me in case they ask for additional documents, so I was able to gather the additional document requests easily.

- The officer who checked my appointment on the first day told me I didn't need a queue ticket for the second day, but when I showed them my blue receipt and "under consideration" stamp, they asked me to still get a queue ticket.
