This means the time period depends on the condition described.
“For as long as they play professional baseball, I will buy season tickets.”
This example you provided is tricky.
“For as long as I can remember” = “I remember we always did this.”
The speaker is indicating that his memory is limited. He does not remember a time the visits did not come. However, it is implied that the speaker may be remembering incorrectly or also does not know what happened before he was born.
