Should I select LTR (P) while applying for my E-visa to retire in Thailand?

Eric ******

@Dennis ********

I think after a year of confirmed pension deposits, you can use that instead of keeping the 800k in the account. I think you can finagle the amount through out the year but it has to be that amount 2 months prior to renewal and 3 months after, or vice versa. Brandon can answer that better though.

The 800k is the easy part, finding a bank to put in though…

ok, this one…bypassing the O-X AND O-A. And I actually do receive a pension, but that does me no good until after a year of proof of deposits correct?

what state are you applying from? I’m in Florida and the O-A is an awful lot of hoops to jump through. I finally gave up.

Is this for the O-A? Applying now and thought to get an O you had to be in Thailand, is that correct? I was going for the METV unless you know the f a better choice. Thanks.

I was just getting one for flexibility. I’m gonna stay in Thailand for while, bounce around to nearby countries for a bit, the come back to Thailand. Should I just get a SETV? Thanks for the reply.

Should we obtain a visa before moving to Thailand for retirement, or is it better to get one upon arrival?

Eric ******

@Terary *********

what is the difference? I haven't ruled out retirement visa once I arrive, but getting a non o/a in the states is just too many hoops to jump through.

do they still do METV? Seems like I read on here that they don't do ME anymore, they process it as a SETV but you don't get the difference refunded.
