no. You do not have to deposit any pension in Thailand you have to prove your income is >80k USD/year. The exact terms can be found in the LTR website.

I confirm the 90 days report is not required. They gave me the little piece of paper with the reminder and it is dated November 2nd 2024.

I just got my LTR today. The whole process, after an initial misunderstanding on how to handle the dependent visa, took less than 3 weeks overall. BOI LTR office very helpful. I felt like a VIP… 😊can’t say the same for the “regular” retirement visa at the Division 1 office 😳

Hello Natalie I am at the stage you described as : - that said, you will need to call the BOI to get the file moving at times… for example, my status as a dependant indicated “approved” yet I wasn’t receiving any emails indicating next steps; we called and within 20 minutes, we received an email and were rolling again. ===================== What did you do exactly? My wife/dependant is showing: CONSIDERATION BY AGENCIES, while mine: APPOINTMENT (already have an appointment for me). I don't understand what I am supposed to do for my dependant. Can you pls shed some light on this subject?

@Douglas ************

@Jeffrey ********

Direct experience with Malaysia MM2H visa. After 5 year they completely changed the rules and I... simply left for Thailand...

@Natalie *******

thank you for confirming my thought.

@Natalie *******

and as far as I know, you don’t need to transfer to Thailand any specific amount of funds and surely not US$80k per year.

@Todd ********

exactly. I am going for it
