Overview

10-year renewable residency for retirees aged 50+ with at least $40,000 annual passive income or $80,000 investment; includes work permit and dependent sponsorship.

The Long-Term Resident (LTR) Wealthy Pensioner visa is Thailand's ten-year renewable residency program for affluent retirees and financially independent individuals aged 50+. Core qualification requires $80,000 annual passive income or $40,000 income plus $250,000 investment in Thai government bonds, property, or FDI, plus $50,000 health insurance. Open to all nationalities.

Processing takes 20 days via the BOI portal and Thai Embassy or One Stop Service Center in Bangkok. Visa fee is 50,000 THB. Dependents (spouse, parents, and children under 20) may be included, maximum 4 per applicant. The visa renews for successive ten-year terms and grants a digital work permit, though employment for salary is prohibited. Tax incentives on foreign-sourced income apply.

This visa is ideal for wealthy retirees aged 50+ seeking stable long-term residency in Thailand with family dependents and ongoing access to international income.
