LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
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). -

LTR Visa is Now available for Long Term Residency
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? -
