10-year Thai residence covering wealthy investors, retirees aged 50+, remote workers and skilled experts, with USD 80K income and a 17% tax cap for HSPs.
Thailand's Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa, launched by the Board of Investment in September 2022, is a 10-year multiple-entry permit covering four streams: Wealthy Global Citizens (USD 1M assets + USD 500K Thai investment), Wealthy Pensioners (age 50+, USD 80K passive income), Work-from-Thailand Professionals, and Highly Skilled Professionals in targeted industries.
Issued for 5 years and renewable for another 5, with a THB 50,000 fee and endorsement in about 20 working days. Highly Skilled Professionals get a 17% flat income tax; all categories receive a digital work permit, 1-year reporting instead of 90-day, fast-track airports, and up to 4 dependents (spouse and children under 20, now extended to parents).
This visa is ideal for high-earning remote professionals, STEM specialists, retirees with passive income, or wealthy investors who want a decade of stable Thai residence without annual renewals or the 4:1 hiring quota.
Choose 1 of 4 categories: Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, Work-from-Thailand Professional, or Highly Skilled Professional
Wealthy Global Citizen: USD 1,000,000 in assets and USD 500,000 invested in Thailand (government bonds, direct investment, or property)
Wealthy Pensioner: age 50+ with USD 80,000/yr passive income (or USD 40,000-80,000 plus USD 250,000 Thai investment)
Work-from-Thailand Professional: USD 80,000/yr (past 2 years) and employer is a public company or private company with 3+ years operating and USD 50M+ revenue over the last 3 years
