@Michael *******

the theory test is not easy at all. The main problem is that the questions and answers are in a very broken English. You need to try to understand the meaning, memorize the question and the answer. 50 question, pass at 45 right.

I practiced with the application Thai Drive. Quite useful and free.

Lesson learned

2pp, foreigners, in Phuket no frills, 100,000 THB/month. All in

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?
