Overview

10-year renewable residency for high-net-worth investors and retirees with 1 million USD in assets and 500,000 USD Thailand investment.

The Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa for Wealthy Global Citizens was established in 2022 to attract high-net-worth individuals to Thailand. Administered by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI), it offers a 10-year renewable pathway. Applicants must demonstrate a net worth of 1 million+ USD and invest 500,000 USD in Thailand.

The visa permits 10-year renewable stay with 20-day processing. Spouses and children under 20 are qualifying dependents with work authorization via digital work permit. Required documents include proof of 1 million+ USD assets, proof of 500,000 USD Thai investment, and health insurance (50,000+ USD), Thai social security, or 100,000+ USD bank balance held 12+ months.

This visa is ideal for wealthy retirees and entrepreneurs seeking long-term Thai residency with family and work rights.
