I was wondering… What is meant by ‘foreign talent’ in this regard?

The designation seems a bit vague

Hello, I was just curious how long some of you had to wait for your LTR? My application has been in final review for some time and 3 1/2 months since the submission. When I called BOI, they said it’s with the relevant government agencies, but no one has asked me for any additional documents. Is it possible that these departments are just taking a long time? 3 1/2 months seems quite long relative to what other people seem to have experienced. Thanks. 

Has anyone applied for LTR visa in the group and got approved?

In my case I meet the criteria of Highly skilled professional.

Its just its my 3rd company in last 2 years.

So little concerned.

I am looking into the LTR wealthy pensioner visa but can't find how they determine the $80k passive income. Is this income pre or post tax? If you have income which is tax free say from ISA's do you ( if the passive income is pre tax) add on the tax that would have been paid when demonstrating the $80 k income? I am unsure how you treat a pension income which is pre tax and other income which either post or no tax?

Considering applying for the LTR visa from Washingtion DC.

Has anybody done this recently? How long did take to process? Everything was done electronically? Did you have to mail anything?

I’ll do my first 1 year O A extension in the next couple weeks.

As soon as that is done I will start on the LTR.

To be safe I will wait until my home country 2024 tax return is done since that combined with other documents should clearly demonstrate the annual income. I also need to get my name on the house, which should take a couple months.

I’d rather avoid an agent and going thru the requirements on the BOI site everything seems fairly straightforward.

Anything I’m missing?

Have just got a reply this morning on my LTV , the letter from BIO Thailand was rejected so can't go any further with it , all requirements were meet , have a paid for villa there for our retirement any body had this happen and what's the next step , thanks

Hi everyone, I am trying to seek advise with regards to my WP and extension of stay on my non b visa. Currently, my work permit and visa extension is dated til 2nd October. I will not be continuing work with the current company (BOI). Will I have to cancel the WP and extension of stay on my own ? And how should I do it ? Many thanks in advance.

We have finally confirmed that the perfect visa for us is the Smart Visa🙌🏻

We would like to go to an office that specializes in this type of Visa (the Smart Visa), one that has already had experience with this type of visa, so they can assist us perfectly without experimenting with our case.

Could someone please provide us with the contact information for a specialized office?

And if anyone wants to share their experience with the Smart Visa, we would greatly appreciate it. 🙏🏻

Thank you very much!

I completed my application along with all requested documents to BOI for Retirement Visa on Jul1. Current status shows - Under Consideration by Govt agencies.

Question...How do I check the status of my application?
