I have a few questions about the LTR: · Is this an “official” website, or a private company offering visa services: https://ltr.boi.go.th/index.html · It looks like I can submit all of the documentation electronically and then I wait 20 days for “approval” must I then physically visit a Thai Embassy in Los Angeles or DC? Is there an office I can visit in Phuket or Bangkok? · If I am submitting my information electronically, how do I submit my photo? Do I just make a copy and send it? Thanks in advance!

Thank you, Dr. Jack ????

Thanks. But --- What program would I apply for? From what I have read, I can't just walk into a Thai bank and open an account.

After reading the link you provided, it seems that for retirees, this "new" plan is slightly less favorable (and more expensive) than the Non-Immigrant Visa Category “O-X” (long stay). I'll stay tuned for the final language due at the end of July.

Hello. I could use some help navigating Thai visa options (I’ve read as much as I can but can still use help) I love Thailand and travel there regularly. I’ve never (yet) stayed more than three weeks but would like the option – especially now that I’m retired. There seems to be a new visa option LTR Long-term Resident Visa, and I meet the requirements for a “Wealthy Pensioner” if the income requirements are before tax (instead of net after tax – but this is not clarified). Some of my questions: · Is this a better option than the Retirement Visa? · Is this a good option if I am not presently living there, but might in the future? · Is this a really good plan? · It seems that I would have to drive to a Thai Consulate (7 hours away) to finalize I'm over 60 and live in the USA Thanks in advance!
