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 anyone confirm if they earn money back home (and pay tax) and in Thailand after 180 days do you magically get told by someone to file a tax return? Or you just don't?

Good morning

I’m an Australian married to a Thai for 15 years, we are about to retire to Thailand, can I arrive in Thailand on a 30 day tourist visa to start the retirement process or does it have to be completed here in Australia

Thanks
