yes, he must be joking. I LOVE my retirement extension. It is dirt CHEAP compared to the LTR requirements. And I live off savings I held long before January 1, 2024. I will be completely tax-free in Thailand, but don't need a LTR for this . . . . . He just didn't reveal the FULL STORY about the REAL costs for a LTR visa

@Todd ********

yes, ABSOLUTELY incomparable to the CHEAP CHEAP requirements for a Non-Imm-O Retirement visa 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 seriously, are you joking? Nobody needs a multi entry permit. I get along with one exit per year on my Retirement extension, the single entry permit is 1000.- THB, which results in 10-year costs over 29.000.- THB. Still cheaper than the LTR 50,000.- THB

Visa period and staying permission

According to the annoucement of the Ministry of Interior Affairs, the applicant who passed the qualifications endorsement for LTR visa (and has had the visa issued in the period within 60 days from the date of qualifications endorsement letter issuance) will receive the 10-year visa stamp from the Immigration/Thai Embassy on the date of your LTR Visa issuance. However, the immigrantion will grant the permission to stay in Thailand with unlimited accesses to the Royal Thai Kingdom (multiple re-entry) for no more than 5 years. This means that you will get a 5-year visa stamp first. And, before the expiration of your first staying permission, your qualifications and criteria will be verified again (you will be required to submit documents and proof via the system). If your qualifications and criteria do not meet the requirement e.g. for Wealthy Global Citizens catagory, if the value of your investment in Thailand is less than USD 500,000 because you sold your property, or have canceled your health insurance and did not have a proof of the health insurance for the past years* etc., in such cases, the LTR visa shall be revoked.

* Remarks:

* You are required to report to LTR Visa unit if your purpose of staying in Thailand is different to the purpose you applied for the LTR visa i.e. For LTR : W and LTR- H as staying in Thailand with an incorrect type of visa might be against the law.

The LTR Visa processing fee of 50,000 THB per person per 10 years and the Digital Work Permit processing fee (for applicants who applied for Digital Work Permit only). The total work permit fee can be seen on the work permit payment form. The total fee is calculated base on the annual fee of 3,000 THB per person per 1 year)

@Todd ********

LTR Visa holders are required to report to Thai Immigration once a year, rather than every 90 days as required for other visa types

@Todd ********

"better" and "best" are relative terms . . . . . . . . the "Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa" is the better visa. Each 1-year extension of stay permit costs only 1900.- Baht. So for 10 years the costs would be only 19.000.- THB, compared to the 50,000.- THB for a LTR visa. Which one is "better"? It depends. You only need 800.000.- THB on an account (23.000.- USD) to quaily for a Non-Imm-O retirement, compared to the requirement of earning 80.000.- US Dollars per year to qualify for a LTR visa. What is "better"? Again, it depends

the airline might ask for the onward travel proof. Immigration normally doesn't ask for an onward travel proof
