LTR Investment Suggestions
Yes, you are right - a foreign freehold condo is a good way to show you meet the $250k US$ equivalent investment in Thailand (about 8.345 THB as I type this). When I went for my LTR about 2 years ago, I could only meet the $40 K US$ equivalent ( to day I meet the $80k - but that did not matter in 2023 from what I understand - although when I reprove finances in 2028 it should matter). so I used one half of my condo purchase value from year 2016. Although it was only 15-million (of which 50% in my Thai wife's name). So since I could only claim a 7.5million investment in a condo, I managed to buy 2 million in Thai government bonds (the exchange rate was different in 2023 so 1-million was not enough then). That made my investment 9.5-million THB, which together with the > $40k US$ equivalent, qualified me for the LTR-WP. Since I now can show (via tax returns from Canada) that I exceed the $80k US$ equivalent, in 2028 I won't buy any more bonds (to replace the $2-million I purchased) but rather will simply use the $80k. I appreciate some who are just short of meeting the requirements (when applying) will be frustrated, .... but I assume it is called a LTR-WP (wealthy pensioner) for a reason. I also had issues proving self-health insurance (2 accounts with necessary amount in cash rejected as I could trade equities with those accounts). So in the end I did some minor restructuring and proved the $100k US$ equivalent elsewhere (another account - money actually in Euros). As it turns out, I did not know how to properly get a letter from my European Insurance company (CIgna) with precise wording to avoid having to go the self health insurance route. ... Hence in 2028 I won't have to maintain the $100k US$ equivalent, as I will then show the properly worded letter from Cigna Europe, to use that as my insurance, and I will exceed the $80k US$ threshold annual pension income (so I need not keep 2-million in THB). Some would be shocked at such need - but I re-iterate, this is a "wealthy" pensioner LTR visa. Emphasis on 'wealthy'. Restructuring one's money, IF one has the money, is not always a big thing. Its a matter of priorities. Does one want the LTR, or does one want to keep their money structured as it is. Fortunately in Thailand, there are many OTHER visas than the LTR. The LTR is not the only visa to think of. There are visas for many different financial situations. -
