Report Thailand Tightens Grip on Retirement Visas Amid Wealth Shift
Martyp replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Targeting wealthy expats in no way changes the options for the traditional average income expat. The most popular retirement visa is the O visa and it doesn’t require insurance. -
10 Year Retirement Visa though an agent?
Martyp replied to BexMan's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
The pensioner LTR is 50,000 baht. If your passive income is a simple pension then it is easy to apply yourself online. If your income is more complicated than an agent might be useful. You can apply for the LTR either inside Thailand or outside Thailand. -
I have the pensioner LTR. I doubt you will be approved if you can’t submit 1-2 years of tax returns showing passive income. There is no cost to trying but I don’t think it will happen. I applied for my pensioner LTR in 2022 while I was in Thailand on an OA visa. It was easy to apply online from inside Thailand. When you go to get your LTR stamp in your passport they will move you from your existing visa to the LTR.

I used to arrive at 8:15am. I would have my section queue number by 8:45. For my 1 year extension I would have to wait about an hour to see an immigration officer. I saw no advantage to arriving at 5am or 6am.
