we are both retired so would not have been able to provide that. We sent in the NOA, and we’re asked for our last T1 General. I should add that only my husband has to provide this, as I came in as his dependant.

@Lisa ***

yes, that’s exactly right. My stamp is for 5 years, renewable for another 5. My husband’s is actually for only 3.5 years as his passport expires in 3.5 years. When he get a new passport, he can get a new stamp for the remaining time, + renew for another 5 years.

hi! We provided initially our notice of assessment from our last two income tax returns . They came back to us asking for a copy of the last T1 General (we are Canadians). That was it . I’m sure there are other ways to show proof of income however. By the way, we initiated this entire process a couple of weeks before arriving to Thailand. We the finished it off here. So you could think of doing the same.

@Josh *********

nothing in your bank. You need to prove at least $800 000 US income.

@Edward *****

we provided our notice of assessment / income tax return. You might be able to provide different documents to show income but that is what we did.

@Todd ********

that’s true! $200CDN a year is actually a pretty good deal!

@Jasmine ********

You need to show an income of $80000 US. If you don’t have that, there are also other ways of proving income. You’ll find the info here: US. If you don’t have that, there are also other ways of proving income. You’ll find the info here: https://ltr.boi.go.th/

yes, I’ve heard it’s much more complicated for the other categories of the LTR. I have a feeling most of the visas issued so far are in the wealthy pensioner category. For us, it certainly it was an easy straight forward process. The other retirement visas unfortunately were not as they didn’t fit our circumstances (our income is not derived from a pension, making things more complicated; we were on the road travelling making it impossible to obtain some documents from our home country; we couldn’t get the insurance form signed off by our health insurance company and had to change companies which we really didn’t want to do for personal reasons etc, I could go on). But you’re right, in the end, there probably are too many retirement categories. 🤷‍♀️

And again, the good think about the BOI is that back and forth clarifying what they needed exactly. That was well appreciated!

@Todd ********

yes, absolutely, good point. We did actually start off by showing money in an account but as it was an investment account, it didn’t work. It had to be cash. So we opted to go the health insurance route, which we already had but simply needed to extend for a year.
