A decade of Thai residence, structured to qualify.
A ten-year Thai residence for four distinct profiles — wealthy global citizens, pensioners, remote professionals, and highly-skilled experts — each qualified on how its income, asset, and investment thresholds are documented.
The qualification is in the evidence, not the application form.
The LTR visa is adjudicated by Thailand's Board of Investment, and approval rests almost entirely on how net worth, passive income, employment, and the USD 50,000 health-insurance — or USD 100,000 deposit — requirement are evidenced. We determine the strongest of the four tracks for your circumstances, then assemble a BOI-ready file: audited statements, employer and revenue confirmations, investment proofs, and the documentation that pre-empts the queries that stall most self-filed applications.
Endorsement is only the beginning of the relationship. We carry you through visa issuance, the digital work permit where it applies, the 17% flat-tax registration for highly-skilled professionals, and the shift to annual — rather than 90-day — reporting, while keeping dependents correctly attached throughout the ten-year term. One file, one team, from eligibility assessment to renewal.
