the LTR does not require investments but it requires 50,000 US dollars in insurance coverage, or 50k in the bank. It also requires you are receiving either 80k if working or 80k passive income. The amount of income can be reduced to 40k if you have a masters degree. In both cases it needs to be in a job not competition with Thai workers (digital/remote).

Also the company (if still working and not passive income( has to be public, above a certain size and generate a minimum revenue per year so small companies are almost a non starter

Also, there is no issue with taxes

@Huy *****

agree 100%

I just met with them in person regarding a LTR visa. Very good. They aren’t trying to talk you into an approach that is illegal just because it easier.

At the same time they also won’t take your assignment for a visa without verifying you would qualify

If you have a US drivers license you can get an international drivers online. Not sure if they require the delivery to the US local or not

None. You get 60 days without a visa required on arrival

And it resets each time to leave and reenter

@Martin ****

download the app and make sure your cards are connected before you leave.

why would you need to inform your IRS? You would still be paying taxes in the US?

@Stephen ****

thanks, but the requirements is a contract for the assignment but I don’t have it yet and may not have it until til I leave the country.

Question: can you get a retirement visa AND still work as a digital nomad?

I am over 55, have more than enough to meet the economic requirements but I am in discussions about working on contract 10-20 hrs a week.

I looked at the other visa option but I don’t have the history of the funds coming and/or I don’t plan to pull those funds (other than 800k baht ) for the visa into the country

Look in the mirror. If you look like you have no money you will be asked more questions

I don’t get much grief now but traveling to the Europe when I was younger I was grilled. I suspect it’s similar in Asia as I wasn’t asked for anything on most of my trips last year (

old rich white dude? Next….

Is about the same but in metric instead of ounces
