Can I apply for the LTR Visa under the Wealthy Pensioner category using non-taxable passive income to meet the $80k requirement? I earned significant passive income (dividends, capital gains) in tax-deferred IRAs and reinvested it in those same accounts as tax-deferred transactions. The income appears on my brokerage statements but not on my tax returns because the income is not taxable yet. Will the BOI credit this passive income toward the $80k requirement?
There have been similar posts here in the past but the answers were not definitive, stating "ask the BOI" or "apply and find out". I would like to know if anyone has had their LTR visa approved using this approach.
