LTR visa-Approved applications since it was launched in 2022 till April 30, 2025

I have applied for LTR visa under pensioners category. The folks at Thai Board of Investment are unwilling to accept balance in the money market fund with Fidelity and asking me to provide proof of Thai insurance with minimum coverage of $50K. I am seeking your suggestion for the cheapest health insurance provider acceptabtle for visa purpose. I am looking for the cheapest one as my current insurance coverage will continue indefinitely and I don’t want to pay for expensive coverage when I already have one.

Also if I get the coverage, can it be from a future date as I don’t plan to move to Thailand until November. Those who have got OA visa from US may know this as they may have obtained health insurance. Thank you all!

Hi guys, just regarding the LTR visa. I have mutual funds that have a Capital growth , it doesnt pay dividends. The statement shows an annualised grown in capital.

Would that be enough to show as passive income for the LTR visa.

Thanks for your help and input.

I am applying for a ltr visa in the Work from abroad professional. My company told me they would prefer to submit their portion of the paperwork directly to the Thai government rather than have me upload it. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so, how? If there’s an email address to send things to separate from the Visa application form.

I am starting "the process" to live full-time in Thailand.

I plan to:

1. arrive in Thailand from the US in June,

2. stay two months with a friend near Udon Thani,

3. Go back to US for August to finish up with getting a house caretaker.

4.In September, Return to Thailand for a long time.

Question?......

For step 1 should I still arrive in a US Pasport and apply for an LTRVisa while Im there?👀

OR Apply now for ?something? on their website before step 1?👀

I don't have the 800k yet, but pull over 100k baht/mo pension. They should let me open an account right? Ill have the 800k easily in less than a year.

I appreciate any information on this. Thanks.

For the LTR visa, anyone know for certain whether the financial requirements only applies to the main applicant and NOT the dependent. For example, with the Wealthy Global Citizen's 1 million+ USD total asset (including at least 500k USD investment in Thailand). Does it mean if I am the main applicant and my wife is my dependent, we just need 1 million total, and NOT 2 million, is this correct?

Just got my Visa approved! It took many months as I originally had applied for LTR because I meet all the requirements but there was an issue with my employment situation regarding me being a contractor and my contracting company not willing to release financials, so I switched to DTV and the process took about a month. I used THAI VISA CENTRE - visa agent. After they submitted everything to the LA embassy I flew to Thailand and my visa was issued after about 15 days. Now all I have to do is fly out of Thailand to activate it.

Does Thailand’s new Tax Residency confusion for foreigners impact your interest to stay long term in Thailand?

What is the amount needed for an Elite Visa?

Anyone has recent experience with regards to the LTR VISA processing time. I have submitted my application back in late Februrary, and BOI requested additional information on my insurance requirement on Mid-March which I have provided necessary doc the same day. And I have yet to hear back since then. Now I know a lot has happened during this time (earthquake, Songkran) which might have added additional time to this process, which I heard normally take around 20 business days. Have tried reach out earlier this week, but have yet to hear anything back.
