Thanks for your reply. I have sent an email to BOI with a general inquiry. I am intrigued by the "approved condo" investments you have mentioned, but I couldn't find any information about that online. Please share any links or any other information you might have on that option. Thanks again!

Do you pay income tax on this income? Are you even allowed to work from Thailand, even for a foreign company, while being on a wealthy pensioner visa? I thought LTR was similar to Elite in the sense that you're not allowed to work from Thailand, unless you specifically applied for that category of LTR, which I believe is called "Work from Thailand LTR Visa".

Could you please share your source? They didn't put this anywhere on their website as far as I know. Plus, can you even work for own company on an LTR visa? Wouldn't you need another work visa if you wanted to claim income in Thailand?

hasn't been accessible, so I haven't been able to read about LTR. Is there another official website which explains this visa better?

Oh wow, ok. According to
*******************************************************************************
Must have at least 1 million USD in assets + Must have an investment of at least USD 500,000 in Thai government bonds, foreign direct investment or Thai property. You were able to receive this visa with proof of $80k/year income for 2 years alone, correct? I am under 50 years of age, not sure if I qualify as a retiree, but you might not know much about the other option "High-income Foreign Individuals"?

Hello, and thanks for sharing your experience! Did you have to show 500k USD in investments in Thailand? Did you own property or other investments before applying for LTR visa? Thanks!
