Yeap....you could get a Non-O visa today and if you had applied earlier for an LTR visa and the LTR visa was endorsed (approved) tomorrow you could then get the LTR visa issued while getting the Non-O visa cancelled at the same time.  Well, actually the Non-O would be cancelled a few seconds before the LTR visa is issued.  Immigration can see in their computers (and from your passport) if you have another active visa that needs to be cancelled in order to issued the LTR visa.  At BOI immigration they can cancel your current visa and then a minute later issue the LTR visa.....it's like a combo transaction.  That's how it happened for me when I was on a 1 year Non-OA Marriage Extension of Stay....that Marriage Extension of Stay (which was only about 2 months old) was cancelled by BOI immigration and a few minutes later the LTR visa was issued and stamped into my passport.

Thanks again..Maybe I will get the Non O (90 day) and I read that I have up to 90 days after issuance to enter Thailand.

 

Seems maybe I could do that now...then apply for the LTR just before or after I arrive in Thailand (rather than the apply the LTR first)...

Yea...you could do that.  Nothing prevents you from having another Thailand visa. like a Non O, while you apply for a LTR visa.   Whatever you think best fits your particular situation.   And getting the LTR visa issued/stamped into your passport within Thailand will be cheaper (Bt50K) than the LTR Visa being issued via the evisa process which is generally x-amount higher depending on the country you are apply from....but you'll need to travel to the BOI immigration in Bangkok.   Since the Thai Foreign Ministry which sets fees issued via the evisa system their fees vary from country to country and are higher than the Bt50K charged by BOI Immigration in Bangkok.  By higher I mean higher by not-too-much higher to significantly higher.

One can keep an international insurance for good coverage and buy an extra Thai insurance with high deductible (that should be cheap even for old chaps and at least lower than proceeds earned from investing $100K. AXA, Pacific Cross, Luma offer specific plans) only to fulfill the LTR $50K coverage requirement.

 

 

On the topic of international insurance ... my understanding is at least 2 (likely more) of the forum members succeeded to get BoI to accept their European health insurance (which they already had).  All they needed to do was get their health insurance company to type up a letter with some key words in the text and send that to them, which they then forwarded to BoI.  

 

Possibly words in the European Insurance like:
 

Quote

 

This company's medical plan covers the entire course of stay in Thailand with coverage for hospitalization treatment of no less than $50,000 USD equivalent and the remaining period of xxx months in the plan.

 

 

Possibly some more/additional words will also be needed in regards to coverage aspects  < unsure > 

 

I went the $100k US$ equivalent in the bank for my LTR back in 2023, but in 2028 I plan to try and switch to my European Cigna insurance (if I can get Cigna to write such a letter).  If i succeed that will free up the $100K US$.  

 

I may liaise with BoI prior to find exact wording they wish to see in such a health insurance letter.

Prior to my deciding to apply for the LTR visa, I went to the local Phuket immigration office and applied for (and obtained) a one year extension on my Type-O non-immigrant visa (for reason of retirement) permission to stay in Thailand.  With a few weeks of obtaining that one year extension, I sent my application for the LTR-WP visa.

 

My logic was it gave me 11+ months to sort out any questions or information requests BoI might have, and it basically took the pressure off in trying to obtain the LTR visa before ones permission to stay in Thailand ran out.

A couple of quick questions on the topic of self insuring for LTR visa.  I am 78 years old, spent 6 months in LOS for 20 years using tourist visa, haven't been there for awhile due to covid/family emergencies/operation in home country (USA).  I easily qualify for the financial aspect of wealthy pensioner, but after checking a few insurance quotes, I feel like I am just throwing away money because of the exemptions (I have a few).  I can easily put up $100K in a bank account, but I cannot obviously back-date it to show a years deposit.  I have had an emergency fund in a back of approximately 40K for years.  I also have a very large investment portfolio (and I know the BOI doesn't look at that any more).  Has anybody out there found any "wiggle room" on the self insurance side, either the timing of the money in a bank, or associated money in bank with large investment. 

 

I want the LTR visa for several key reasons:  I want to come and go in and out of Thailand whenever I want with little of no administrative hindrance'  I don't want to report every 90 days;  I don't want to necessarily restrict my time in Thailand to less than 180 days (and wording on LTR visa suggests that it will protect you from global income tax, but only time will tell). 

 

There are a  couple alternative strategies here, if the bank deposit route is a "hard" one year, I could deposit the money and maybe takae out an METV, being careful with the time in country for the next year and stretcing out my entries so that I keep it valid for close to 90 days.  Then after a year applying for the LTR and voila, my  money has been in bank for a year.

 

I could also forego the LTR and buy my way in with a Privilege Visa which doesn't include a health insurance rider, can come and go whenever, but still requires 90 day reporting and still has a higher potential of taxing global income if Thailand ever gets their <deleted> together on that aspect.  So again, I would be counting days to maintain myself underneath a Thailand resident status.  

 

So, any suggestions or comments on my first question about "wiggle room"?  Also any ideas on alternative approaches?

I just want to correct one of my statements regarding the METV, I would want to carefully plan entries to maintain its validity for close to 9 months with planned exits and entries.  I plan to go to many places in Asia anyway (Japan, Korea, Singapore, Maldives, Mauritania, maybe Australia etc).

If you're considering METV you buy time, you might want to decide if just getting a DTV is better.  Then you don't have to worry about insurance or anything really for 5 years.  If you travel as much as you are planning to, you won't have to worry about 90-day reports and such regardless of the visa you have.  But with a DTV you won't have to worry about extensions either.

But if you really want to get the LTR, then the METV is probably a better option since it will bridge the gap for the $100k fairly easily.

I was thinking about the DTV also.. but no remote contract work at the moment so would have to do the soft thing... and unsure about that... I heard stories that some cooking classes, etc. that they thought were valid later were not..

 

Has anyone received the DTV based on a medical reason?

I am having an implant done now in the USA in October but would be in Thailand about the time where I could get a crown on it (takes 3-6 months to heal first)... and wonder is that would suffice.... (it may not be until Feb).

 

So I just need to show some sort of proof of an appointment with a Dentist, etc?

 

Though I am reading elseware one may need a longer term medical issue that requires treatment...

You only report to Thai immigration if you are in Thailand for a continuous 90 days. If you are really going to be traveling in and out of Thailand frequently and you are not in Thailand for a full 90 days at a time you may never have to do a 90 day report. Even if you do a 90 day report it is free and doesn’t take much time depending on the immigration office you are using.

To self-insure "investment" type funds like no longer work....they were accepted for some people during the first 6 months of so of the LTR program which began Sep 2022....but that's now water under the bridge.    If that emergency fund you mention is in a "bank" like a savings, checking, money market, CD account where you can show 12 monthly statements (or probably 4 quarterly statements) you will be good to go.

 

Or you buy insurance for 1 year while you season a $100K bank deposit and then not renew the insurance as you would now be covered via the $100K deposit method.   You just need to ensure you either meet the insurance policy "or" self-insure method over the 10 year period of the LTR visa.

Interesting idea @Pib  I was thinking the same but don't want to "waste" too much on a  health policy.  So I was wondering if anyone has successfully obtained an LTR visa using a policy from WRLife?  They have reasonable rates as long as you choose a high deductible.  

     I might have missed the answer but if I apply online from the USA a few months before I may go to Thailand for the Non O (90 day) visa, do they require housing proof like a tm30?

    I thought this is provided online by the hotel, etc upon arrival?

    I wanted to apply early but not yet make any flight or housing plans until I'm sure on my dates, etc

You wouldn't need a TM30 until you actually arrive Thailand.  Yes, the hotel is suppose to submit a TM30 (they do it in batch mode due to some many daily guests).

If they insist on hotel info it's easy to make fully refundable bookings on Agoda that'll satisfy them and just cancel once you have the visa.

Just wanted to get clarification on the Wealthy Penioners requirements again from someone who did it.

 

If you do not show/get health insurance (though I may get it anyway but have it start when I intend to enter Thailand in November - assuming it does NOT have to be active the date ofapplication).....instead you can show:

C. Financial evidence or bank statement (Investment portfolio and fixed deposit are NOT accepted) showing a deposit of no less than 100,000 USD which has been held and maintained for no less than 12 months at the time of application.

 

So does one have to load up 12 months of bank statements?  Thats a lot of digital paperwork 🙂

The LTR is a lot of paperwork regardless. But there's not really any other way to meet that requirement than to show 12 months of statements.

Yeap, the last 12 months of bank statements is needed.  Now days downloading 12 monthly statements (or quarterly statements if your bank only does quarterly statement) doesn't take long at all (a minute or two per monthly statement) and the statements are already in PDF format.    

 

You will not get an approved LTR visa until you provide the required health coverage via insurance policy "or" self-insure.  Either one satisfies the health coverage requirement.   Until you provide the required docs your LTR application will just be coded as "additional documentation" requested (go into standby mode)....that is, awaiting the required health insurance policy or self-insure docs to restart the application evaluation process.

 

Yes, a good amount of docs can be required to prove income and health coverage....but you are "not" doing this every year.....only the initial application to get the 10 year visa and probably at the mid 5 year point to get the 2nd 5 year permitted to stay stamp of the 10 year visa.

I find that strange/interesting.  Are you certain that is accurate?

 

Granted I obtained my LTR-WP differently (I applied from within Thailand) but when I went to the BoI for my LTR visa, and they walked me over to Thailand immigration (on same floor as the BoI office), the Thai immigration wrote in Thai language, a statement DIRECTLY UNDER my Type-O visa stamp, that the Type-O visa (for reason of retirement) was no longer valid since I was on an LTR visa. 

 

It strikes me as either strange (or an immigration change in policy) that there was no such writing underneath your old Type-OA visa stamp.

 

 

 

Like I stated - strange/interesting, and not my experience with my LTR-WP.

 

Just got back from holiday, so I finally had a chance to check my old passport the one where the original OA visa was stamped.

When I wrote the earlier post mentioning that there were no comments or notes under the OA visa at the time the BOI stamped the new LTR in my new passport, I had only looked at the new passport, which I renewed in early 2023.

Both the OA and the original LTR were actually first stamped in my old passport, which I had to renew because it was full with no pages left for stamps. I then remembered to check the old passport to see if any notes had been added and lo and behold, there is a note there under the OA visa.

Strangely, when the BOI transferred the LTR to my new passport, they also transferred the old OA visa but didn’t add any cancellation note for it. That’s why I originally said there were no notes; I hadn’t checked the old passport at the time and frankly I completely forgot about the renewal that took place.

Hope that clears things up!

Does the 10 year period of the LTR visa start

a) from the date of approval of the original application or
b) from the date the visa is actually stamped in the passport?

Thank you.

Thank you.

From the date it is actually issued via stamp into the passport or issue via the Elisa system.

 

Once you receive notice of LTR "endosement" from BOI (endorsement means approval to issue the LTR visa) the applicant has 60 days to complete the LTR issuing process...that is, pay the fee and get the LTR visa actually issued at BOI immigration or via evisa system.  If failing to do so within 60 days then you must reapply....start from zero again.

I applied for the Wealthy Pensioners, and noticed that they requested the last 2 years of proof of income ($80K+) rather than only "last year" as I read in another PDF I had downloaded from a site.  No problem as I just copied the few pages of my 2023 1040 also.

 

I do not have the ability to shows 12 months of bank statements showing the $100k+ and wanted to get insurance anyway but was unsure when I may go back to Thailand (Nov/Dec).  So i have not yet purchased a policy.      I added a letter to the upload noting my income, etc. and that I would supply insurance proof later but wanted to check if I met the income requirements first.. 

 

I wonder if they will evaluate the income, etc. first and let me know if those "pass" and then request the insurance document or do you think I need to do it all at once before they provide any type of feedback.  I was curious about my 2024 1040 tax form as I had mostly withdrawal from an IRA, some income, and dividends, interest to exceed the 80k.

However, unless something has changed in the online application it says if you don't submit the health insurance info when first applying you should upload a "Document Request Acknowledge Form for LTR Application."   This form is available on the BOI LTR website...completing the form you are basically saying you are aware you must provide a health insurance policy when BOI asks for it.   I guess by completing this form you are confirming you are aware of the requirement, will provide it later when BOI asks for it, and not just wasting BOI's time.

I applied last night and it had the different sections with red circles and green diamonds of what was mandatory or not.  Some sections had an "Add" button for documents.  I created a letter to explain the 1040 tax forms, etc. but the "Other Docs" section would not load the PDF so I loaded it with my 1040 (section).   

 

And the income section noted '2 years of income' proof NOT "last year" as the PDF instructions i had seen before (that seemed to be modified in March)...

 

I did not load anything about insurance yet.... and noted why not in my letter.. hoping they could tell me if my "income" section passed first.

 

Seemed a pretty easy process... and if my income passes, I will get the insurance and it should be clear sailing 🙂

Yeap...it can be an easy process if having all the "paperwork ducks" lined-it and you are not going the route of investments in Thailand (like buying a Thai bond, condo, etc) to help meet the income requirements where the additional docs requirements can get challenging.  

I completed my application on the BOI site.  A few days later they sent automated email (see below) .... but when I go back to the site and load up the 1099R forms, I cannot continue. The only button that is active is the Signature (so I rewrote it) and BACK... I am confused.. lol

Little confused why they asked #1 as my last 2 years of 1040 that I provided showed $80+ of passive income.  2024 did include some IRA withdrawals which is what they may be wanting to see more (given request for 1099R). 

 

But seems I am stuck on the screen.

On the Upload screen it shows the below the 2 of the new 1099R I uploaded (thought I loaded 5 1099 forms):

I got another email requesting same thing. It did say to merge the docs into 1 PDF so I did that with all the 1099R.   After uploading it took me back to Status page... so I guess its under review again.

Thanks... I just added this. I checked off everything though many are not applicable 🙂  The instructions are not clear... I didn't know I had to do that (the link was at bottom and i never noticed :).

  Assuming you are pretty sure you meet the income requirement you best get ready to provide the required health insurance doc(s) because BOI may be asking for that pretty soon "so they can endorse (approve) your LTR application; otherwise, your application will go into pending status awaiting the additional docs requested where you have X-amount of time to provide the requested docs.  See attached application timeline at the BOI LTR web site.   Best of luck.
