Although to be clear, I’ve never stayed in Thailand for a year consecutively. I’ve always taken vacations to neighboring countries so I guess I’ve never actually done a one-year report. But local immigration put a date card in the back of my passport so I showed up before that date and all they did was give me a new date card, one year out from my latest entry which rendered the previous date card out of date.

Udon Thani.

You walk into your local immigration office and tell them you’re doing your one year report. If, like me, they’ve never seen that visa before it’ll take a few extra minutes. Done. Of course if you’ve left the country and returned your year resets so you may never set foot in an immigration office again.

Steven Cameron Yep, I realize. But typing the visa name isn’t discussing it. And if you didn’t notice there was a lot of angst about Thai taxes and the LTR visa might solve that problem. Make sense?

LTR visa, no taxes.

@Tod ********

I suppose it’s closeable now that it’s been resolved.

Well, I entered ‘visa exempt’ in the visa number field and it was accepted and approved. I just need to make an appointment now. A lot of worry on my part for nothing I guess. 🤷‍♂️

I got my 30 day extension last week and called and told them I hadn’t heard anything for months and I was on my extension. Ms. Saithip went right to work and it was approved the next day. I’ve submitted the information they need so we’ll wait and see what happens next. It’s moving in the right direction now at least.

Thanks for the replies. As far as I can tell they’re only asking for entry information right now. Insurance stuff was sent in the original application.

Was your LTR approved or is it still sitting in purgatory?
