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.

Does being married with a Thai help the visa situation? Does owning (long term rental) a home?

Hey guys.

Need some advise, as every consultant I reach out to won't answer a simple question.

For LTR wealthy pensioners visa, it says you need a passive income of 80k USD or 40K USD with an investment of 250K USD in Thailand.

All I need to know is whether dividends from my own company (essentially set up like a holding company), is considered legitimate for this calculation or does it have to be from a non arms reach source?

Thanks in advance!

Tourist visa cancelled due to incorrect address, will this be a problem going visa exempt?

I know that it is all down to the immigration officer but I would like to get this groups opinion. My partner is Japanese and currently in Japan. No prior visa runs. She will fly with me (LTR visa holder) to Thailand for 45 days holidays on Tuesday. We are not yet married.

With all the news on reducing to 30 days on visa exempt, we decided to play safe and apply for a single entry tourist visa to ensure she gets 60 days. Now turns out she hasn't updated her Japanese driving licence and id yet after moving recently and bank statement address/visa application address do not match driving licence address.

Embassy just requested driving licence from her and I am sure the application will be cancelled once submitted. I hope just cancelled, not declined.

Do people in this group think (I know, nothing is certain) that she will get issues then flying just visa exempt? We will print out return flights, hotels, THB 20k cash in the pocket.

I will be with her. Too late to apply again and the ticket is non refundable business class, would be shame to lose this.

Getting ready to move to Thailand and really needed help with my Visa situation. Don’t really know where to start. I’m currently in the states and plan to come June 6 since my lease is up. I won’t have had the 16k in my account for 3 months yet to apply for the dtv visa. Anyone can point me in the direction of an agent who can assist me with the transition to come to Thailand. I would like to be in Bangkok. My income will be my VA monthly payment. To include my retirement from my job.

Hello everyone. I've decided on going the Elite/Privilege Visa route. What is the best site to apply? I have seen multiple sites and want to verify what is the OFFICIAL portal since we're talking about 20k USD

Thanks

Might seem like a silly question, but wanted to ask anyway. While the DTV is the prime choice for long terms stays, can a METV visa be suitable for someone who plans to live in Thailand about 3 weeks out of the month, and return the following month? I know its validity is for 60 days and can be extended to an additional 30 days. Would someone have difficulty entering Thailand frequently?

1. I read that LTR visa holders are given access to Fast Track. If I hold LTR visa, will I be able to bring gf who is on another (DTV) visa through with me since we travel together? Or she will have to go to the regular queue, or pay additionally.

2. If we are both on DTV and decide to purchase some fast track service, is 1 purchase for both of us enough, or each one has to buy individually and get a separate window / attendant?

ps. I know fast track isn't necessary most times, but I have my reasons and just want to know how it works.

Thank you!

I read on internet it’s possible to get DTV without income ? I have more than 100.000$ on my bank account.

Thanks

Searched but couldn't find this question about bank statements in the group:

My "primary" checking account (Chase) has a balance that varies pretty widely from day to day and month to month (2 of the last 3 months were well above the limit, but one was $12k). As soon as my paycheck (around $35k) hits, I typically move money into investment accounts (Schwab, Fidelity) and a few online banks that pay a much higher interest rate (Marcus, Ally).

Should I submit statements from only one (like Marcus, with average balance last 3 months around $32k, not including 200k in CDs), or a combination of Chase + Marcus/Ally, which would show my paychecks going into Chase every month?

I'm a Nevada resident, applying through the LA Embassy.

Thanks in advance!
