It's a 10 year residency visa for Thailand. Cost is only 50,000 baht for 10 years.

@Bob *********

you asked the question. Now you have the answer. LTR it is if you value your time and money at all

@Don ********

have you received an LTR using capital gains as the income source?

@Bob *********

you mean show a screen shot of your income. Maybe. Non-O is Nonsense if you qualify for LTR. Unless you love wasting time and money

@Mark *******

you just listed all the reasons for ‘why not’. It’s absurd. Who would leave 800k in a bank acct doing nothing?

LTR ensures no tax on income outside the country. And it’s cheaper than a multi-entry non O-A. Plus no 90 day reporting, plus fast track at airports. Never see immigration or bank offices again.

No, I don’t believe so. capital gains are difficult to use in the equation as it’s a one off event. The income doesn’t need to be taxable. It just needs to be sustainable.

I think if you could demonstrate trading or similar that resulted in consistent income, you may be able to make a case. Reach out to the BOI either by phone or email and ask.

6 minutes minimum…

Maybe. Many require only an end balance. Some embassies require seasoning time of up to 6 months

@Martin ********

In this case, it's called the UK. FAR worse

yes, total waste of time. Ironic, considering that is what we pay travel agents to avoid

Anonymous participant it’s irrelevant. They don’t care. 500k or 5 million = same thing
