roquefort Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Has anyone successfully applied for the new Long Term Resident 10 year visa under the Wealthy Pensioner category? If so, did you make the application yourself or with the help of an agent/law firm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aublumberg Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Yes a few have obtained one. As far as I recall they did it on their own. It’s not that difficult as long as you meet the criteria and have the right documentation which you would also require if you go through an agent / law firm.

khunjeff Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I submitted my application, but am still waiting for the result - in theory, I should hear within the next few weeks. I honestly can't see how an agent or lawyer could be of much assistance, since you are just sending in your own personal financial and insurance documents, and only you know what you do or don't have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Application submitted Sept. 19th, currently "processing." Received email Oct. 12th regarding several additional requests: No redactions or masking of document information No handwritten notations on official government forms Resubmitted same day. Prior to original submittal had issues with form drop down menus and entering information into form data cells. Called BOI (02-209-1141) who advised using Windows Edge browser; I was using Firefox.

That's true, but in my case the calculation of income is open to interpretation. So a well-connected agent could ensure that it's interpreted in the "right" way.

The 10 year Visa was stamped into the PP on October 7th on one page, with a 5 year stay also stamped into the passport, and a 5 year multiple re-entry permit stamped into the PP on the opposite page as well. No an agent is not needed as you do it ypurself through the link here: https://ltr.boi.go.th/page/visa-issuance-info.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You either have the proof of financials which you up-load and they confirm or you do not qualify.

Thingamabob Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 What is the cost of an LTR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you get a multiple reentry permit good for all 10 years as well and no funds needed in a Thai bank like for the extensions of stay.
