Why do people get so upset when one does not agree with them ? A fine mystery of existence,

 

Le LTR has been established with good intent by the BOI. The problems cited by the many comments, could or could not arise, due to the fact that the Immigration Bureau is also involved. And we all know how quick and hassle free it it !!!🙃

 

Problem here is with the annual re-qualification or report with immigration whatever the word used. If no issues could arise with BOI, it could be a totally different strory with having to deal annually with immigration and having to "re-qualify". It means nothing and anything.

 

To make it short, best would be to ask Immigration what they exactly could ask on the re.qualification process for the LTR. Thing is that even they are not sure. It obviously would change from office to office and of course depend entirely on the mood of the day with the fine officer handling the process. Officer who is free to ask or invent any new absurd document request and if so, cancel the LTR and thus all the money spend and hassle for nothing. Willing to take that risk ?

 

LTR may be worth the run for full time stay or may not ?  But definately and absolutely not worth for wealthy global pensionners who are the  winter birds from october to march.

You are wrong.

You are wrong. Just because you can't qualify for a LTR visa, you shouldn't post false information and put down on people who can qualify.

Actually it's you who is missing the fact that you need to do annual re-qualification with immigration who are free to challenge your qualification and ask or invent all sorts of new document to show. And no big deal with or without an LTR as most of the retirees with the real ca$h only come to Thailand for a few months.

 

Check out for yourself the post titled LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency by CB and you will have explicit screen shots of the annual hassles.

For the others,  check out the screen shot some place on this thread that clearly mentions the annual requalification process by BOi and immigration and then get an idea for yourself.  One can be rather skeptical  with some "influencers" who are pushing and perhaps toting for their own interests,

I thought Income earned between 1/1/2024 and you getting the LTR was still Taxable. 

 

E.g. I plan on going for mine when my pensions start in 2026 and am expecting that I would have to pay Tax on Rental/Dividend income earned in 2024 & 2025 if I remit it.

 

If you come to Thailand and become a tax resident prior to obtaining your LTR, then monies you remit during the time before the LTR will be taxed so unless you just save it outside of Thailand in savings or

whatever, and then after you obtain the LTR you can remit anything free of tax that was earned outside of Thailand.  Hope this is clear.  It seems pretty clear to me but..

Of course it is and I would say even more then the 44%. But I was refering to those who qualify for the LTR and love bragging about their millions 😂

I wish you could find some happiness in your life other than trolling others with your false narrative about LTR annual re-qualifications, just because you cannot afford a LTR visa and are jealous of others who are better off financially. It's very sad...
