Applying as a long term resident of Taiwan. The visa office sent me to the National Immigration Agency for proof of current location.

For the proof of 500k in assets, the instructions say 3 months of bank statements, but my bank's statements are generated only on a certain day of the month. Do I just have to wait or can I paste together a web printout of my recent transactions (showing that I transferred 500k THB into by account)? Instead of showing both deposits and expenditures/withdrawals, can I just show deposits since this is more private?

Also I've seen a few people say Taiwan requires 6 months of bank statements, even though the application says 3 months.

Hello. I'm looking for some clarification and advice. My spouse and I are from USA and both over 50.

We are looking to get the LTR next year, once my spouse can show a little extra passive income on our taxes from renting out our house.

In the interim, we would like to enter Thailand on either an O or O-A visa. The problem appears to be that we thought we only needed to show the 800,000 Baht in our bank on the day of application, but now we noticed we need three months of statements.

We have access to the funds, but with the misunderstanding, we did not yet put them in an account(s) and we want to travel soon.

We also have the option of showing $2,500 in income with those statements. We have a joint checking where my spouse can easily demonstrate that income, but I am a little short.

Based on that, it appears my spouse should have no problem with either the O Or the O-A immediately, but I might have issues.

Based on the above we have a few questions:

1) Do I need to show the money in my account for all three months? I would qualify if I only needed it on application submission.

2) Would they take our total monthly income in our joint account and split it between us? If so, then I would have enough income for all three months.

3) I know I can't open a Thai account without a 90 day visa. Of course, I could go on an exemption or vacation visa. I could then return to the USA after three months and apply for an O or O-A, but that's not very ideal. Is there another option that would allow me enter Thailand sooner and not have to return to the USA to reapply?

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this, and for helpful clarification or advice.

I am just at the start of the process to apply for me and my wife's LTR visa under the "retiree over 50yrs with >= $80000 annual income" category and ran into a few challenges on the Thai embassy's website here in the US.

I filled out the online application but at the end it wanted me to upload an Authotizatioj letter from BOI (the Thailand Boatd of Investment).

So then I logged into their website and they want me to upload a bunch of documents some of which are mentioned as (To be requested on a case by case basis) e.g., the police clearance certificates.

My question is if i don't submit these in the first go, will they reject my application? Or shall I submit the FBI clearance asking with the rest of it?

Has anyone actually successful been through the LTR process?

I'm in Cakifornia and trying to do this all online before we fly in sometime in late October 2025.

Any advice will be appreciated

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been answered but I couldn't find it.

I'm 51 and moving to Thailand in January with my wife who is under 50.

Both would qualify for the DTV visa but I can obviously qualify for the 'Retirement' visa.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a site/ document etc which compares these visas and or offers alternatives if there are any.

Thanks in advance for the information.

Hello. Question related to the 90-day report and the retirement visa. Is it true that the people who hold a retirement visa don't need to do the report? Asking because, as far as I understand, all the foreigners must do it.

Thanks in advance.

Hello all. American and wanting to retire to Thailand next year. I’ll be 62 and money will not be an issue. Retirement fund and social security. My question is…will I have any issue being able to live in Thailand with a felony conviction when I was 16 years old in 1980? Not even a traffic citation since. Degreed professional in medical field for 40 years. Plan to have the 800k baht in a thai bank and monthly of 100k for living expenses.

Appreciate your input.

I was wondering… What is meant by ‘foreign talent’ in this regard?

The designation seems a bit vague

Regarding Bank Accounts (as well as other non-DTV) items TikTok has just posted this. I am posting this in DTV about the new banking regulatory requirements only.

They are very well connected and have been around a long time.

We are married. For a retirement visa, do we both need to have 800k in a Thai bank (1600 total) or will 800k be sufficient for both of us. What are options if we don’t have the 1600k but want to stay for a year? TIA.

Hello,

With a Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa, and no incomes in Thailand, do I need to get a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and fill a tax return?

Thanks
