Yeah LTR sounds great, but I don't qualify. I don't have a pension, don't have a million in assets that would qualify, and realizing 80k/year in cap gains isn't worth it. I do my 90-day reports online so, I'm best served by the 1 -year retiree
So it seems like unless you work for a Thai company you need to prove a large net worth, and that's the catch? So no money in a Thai bank but prove 1 million USD in assets, or high income from non-salary sources?
interesting, had not seen that one before. Max 10 years though, my visa can be extended forever. Also 3 million THB is too much to have just sitting in cash.
Thx though, I guess this is what they were talking about.
I don't care about the money in thailand, i'm already on a 1 year retiree visa. But the elite section of the website mentions a 5 and 10 year version of the retiree visa as well (see link in original post and scroll to section on retiree visa)
you might want to consider spending some time in neighboring countries. They gave you the extension denied, 7 days to exit stamp. You may, or may not, have issues trying to get back in visa-exempt. They are likely to say "you overstayed your last visa exempt stamp, sorry, entry denied". So if you try, at least have a backup plan.
during covid all the schools were online only... ahh, the good ol' days of covid. These days it'll be a lot harder to find. There are schools that will do it for you, but not the large reputable ones.
