  1. Hello. 
    i am on a guardian visa. You do need to have 500k on your account to get it  the first tome and also to renew every year. This amount has to be there , I think, 2 months before renewal and 1 month after. 
    You will need a letter from your bank to acknowledge that.. And to add 100 baht just before going for your stamp! With your passbook.

    The purpose to have an agent is to avoid all that including the 500k deposit !

    Did they send you an email or call you specifically asking for Item #2 "OR" are you just looking at what you submitted earlier which just happens to show #2....and probably show some other numbered areas where you "could" upload/add docs "if required for your application."   

     

    When you initially submit an application there are some docs that do "not" apply and you do not need to upload those docs.  It's just there is an entry/area available for your to Add (upload) certain docs if your particular application requires it.

     

    My LTR WP (which was approved/issued) Dec 2022 also shows item #2 when I view the area where you can view all the docs you uploaded.     Just because you can "add" a doc does not mean it's required "UNLESS the BoI specifically ask you for it by email/call/entering a request in red text under a certain area.   

     

    I don't see anything in your snapshot that indicates BoI has requested you to provide item #2.....if they needed it there would be some comments in red text from BoI asking for it.

     

    Thanks. Appreciated!

     

    I did not receive anything asking me to do that and, again, I have a friend who got his LTR without submitting a health certificate. The only difference with him is I am asking it for me but also for my wife and child.

    Since, I think, it is mandatory for the ones requesting a work permit, they could have put this item with the list requested specifically for work permits. 

    I hope it will be fine. The good thing is that the steps after # 6 till the visa stamp go much faster from what I am reading. My current visa expiry date is the end of November.

    I thought it was only for the ones asking for a work permit. A friend got the LTR Pensioner without that (but with health insurance of course)

    Is it a new thing?

    Any recent data points on Wealthy Pensioner LTR visa?

    How long is the Step 4 "Status:Consideration by Govt Agencies (20 Working Days)" is actually taking?

    In earlier steps they already checked and confirmed income and asked for relevant documents. For this pensioner category seems there is little else to check apart from the fact that you are 50+  - is it actually taking 20 working days or more?

     

    So, I got the good news 3 days after posting here that my Application for LTR Wealthy Pensioner was approved.

    Since I submitted everything on September 1st (and was never asked for any other documents, it takes way more than 20 working days to get an answer these days...but I also know from a friend it went faster for him a few months ago.

    My advice, if you live in Bangkok,  is to go to BOI in Chamchuri to have them call the government agencies to figure out your status ( I did it twice).

    I also sent an email last weekend through the BOI platform ...and received an email back from them 3 days later saying it was approved, with a detailed explanation about the process. I just need to update a few documents (the last passport-stamped page, and a medical certificate but for this one, my understanding is that it is only required for the category with work permit). 

    So al good !

    So you did actually manage to speak to the person dealing with your case?  The reason I am asking is because prior to this I thought this was not possible.

    As said above, yes you can visit BOI in Bangkok as much as you want, you can also call the BOI number to get some information/updates about your application

  5. Hello everyone,

    I applied for LTR end of August, category Wealthy Pensioner, and have not gotten any answer so far.

    I went to BOI Chamchuri Square around 3 weeks ago and the staff, after checking/calling to get news about my application, came back telling me I will receive good news in the next 48 hours. 

    Nothing happened, I went back a week ago and they told me: All good for us but Government agencies are busy. Wait for 2 more weeks. 

    I don't know anymore what to think.

    Anyone know how long does it take currently to get a LTR in the WP category? 

    Thanks!

  6. Hello,

     

    My visa F has just been cancelled on December 1st (retirement) and I need to leave the country before December 21st to start the process for another visa. I think I have already all the paperwork : Child birth certificate, school letters + 500K in the bank for 2 months.

    I was planning to go to the Thai embassy in KL or HCMC  but no visa appointment time slot available before ages. 

    So, I am now planning to do a visa run, coming back here with a 45 days tourist exemption (I am French) and do the Visa O Education in Chaeng Wattana. 

    Is it an option? Any others?

    Thanks !

     

  7. Really a weird case. 

    No CCTV working, no hotel staff around (It is a 5 star hotel but my understanding is that there was very very few customers). 

    For sure, you can't trust Koh Tao police for anything but there is a difference with previous cases : they are a rich family quite well connected and they will use this to get a full picture of what really happened to their parents
