Is it illegal to rent a condo in Thailand for less than a month?

Steve **********

Short term rentals like Airbnb have always been illegal.

Many condos have signs up in the lobby or elevator stating this.

But then you can do an Airbnb rental through the Juristic office.

What are the eligibility requirements for the LTR visa in Thailand, and is the Elite visa a viable alternative for someone who doesn't meet them?

Steve **********

to be honest for that category I am not sure. It doesn’t say “or” so I would guess it’s all 3. But I was told BOI is very responsive to queries. I would ask them.

Steve **********

These are the qualifications. There is no scenario where having $400,000 makes you eligible. So whatever group was saying that is uninformed.

Can I deposit cash into my Thai bank account for my visa requirement, and what are the cash limits for carrying money into Thailand?

Steve **********

I know several people are saying the money must be transferred from overseas to fund the 800K but that was not my experience. I never had to show anyone anything and it most definitely was not transferred from outside of Thailand.

I’m not saying to do this because everyone’s situation is different but that’s what happened with me.

What are the experiences and differences between the Thai Elite Visa and LTR Visa?

Steve **********

may I ask what they are looking for on the tax returns? I ask because if a pension just went over $80K or some is non taxable income is that an issue?
