Thailand Launches New 10-Year Visa for Remote Workers and Retirees

The Thai government has officially launched the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa, a new 10-year residency option designed to attract high-income foreigners, digital nomads, and retirees to the Kingdom.

Who Qualifies?

Applicants must fall into one of four categories: wealthy global citizens, wealthy pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals, or highly-skilled professionals. Each category has specific income and investment requirements.

Benefits of the LTR Visa

  • 10-year renewable visa
  • Work permit included for professionals
  • Fast-track immigration service
  • 50% personal income tax reduction for qualifying expats

Popular destinations for LTR visa holders include Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Hua Hin, where a growing expat community already calls home.
