LTR Visa Wealthy Pensioner: Application for Qualification Endorsement (BOI)

The “Application for Qualification Endorsement for Wealthy Pensioner” is the Board of Investment (BOI) form for the Wealthy Pensioner category of Thailand’s Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa programme. BOI first checks that the applicant meets the category requirements (endorses the qualifications); after that the LTR visa itself is obtained from Immigration with form TM.94. The form is in English, six pages, and is published on the official LTR programme website.

• a foreign retiree who receives a pension and/or fixed income and wants to live in Thailand on an LTR visa;
• the form offers two income levels: at least 80,000 USD a year, or from 40,000 to below 80,000 USD a year — in the second case the applicant must also hold an investment in Thailand (Thai government bonds, a direct investment in a company, or real estate);
• other programme conditions (minimum age, minimum investment amount and so on) are set by BOI and may change — check the current criteria on ltr.boi.go.th;
• the application is submitted to BOI through the LTR programme website; the One Stop Service Center for Visa and Work Permit in Bangkok handles LTR cases. Confirm the submission channel for your case with BOI.
