Yes, that is normal. Don't worry, if you don't hear anything it is a good sign. Then they are just waiting for other government agencies to confirm your information (ex. Revenue Dep.). I waited around 4 weeks for the final approval.

I applied for my LTR while I was still in Thailand and selected Bangkok as the pickup location. However, due to the lengthy processing time, I had to leave Thailand in the meantime. If my application is approved, can I re-enter Thailand on a visa exemption and then switch to the LTR visa, or will I need to obtain the LTR visa from the local embassy first? The embassy is about a five-hour drive away, and I would prefer to avoid that trip if possible.

I believe my application might be rejected. I work for a large international corporation with numerous subsidiaries worldwide. My employment contract is with one of these subsidiaries based in Switzerland. I submitted the consolidated financial statement, but they are insisting on seeing the financial statements for the specific subsidiary I work for. Unfortunately, this subsidiary, being a small part of the global group, does not meet the $150 million threshold. They seem to be focusing on this issue now. Does anyone in this forum have experience dealing with a similar problem? Any help would be appreciated.

From my limited experience with the documentation requirements so far, they only accept tax returns or other forms of passive income that demonstrate a stable and regular stream (e.g., rental income). You can still give it a try, at least it is free to apply 🙂

Thanks! I’ll keep you updated. Once (hopefully) I get approved, I’ll write a complete guide detailing exactly which papers I submitted. With Thai authorities, it’s always the same story: the more copies you hand over, the happier they seem. Honestly, if I showed up with a stack of photocopies taller than me, they’d probably approve my application right away.

You were right—I’ve now been asked for additional documents. It seems like they’re not reviewing all the documents thoroughly. They requested additional proof, even though it’s clearly included in my previous application materials.

Short update here, I submitted my application yesterday with rental income as proof. I already passed Step 2 and Step 3 within 1 working day. Now I am at step 4 - under consideration by government agencies. It says might take up to 20 working days or longer. Any experiences with the actual waiting times?

Great, thanks for your help. In my case I have a rental contract, proof of ownership and bank statements showing rental income. I hope this is enough. I am currently gathering all documents and will submit my application next week

Ok thank you. I just wonder if anybody has experience with this income documentation. I don't have tax returns for my rental income. It is below the minimum tax bracket so no need to file it

Hi I am new to this forum and would appreciate your help. I am planning to apply for the LTR visa (Work from Thailand professionals). Regarding the income requirements, does rental income count? I rent out a property and would like to include this in the 80k income requirements. Also what kind of documents are sufficient to prove the revenue requirements for my company. It is a global company, but I work for a much smaller sub firm.
