Thailand LTR Visa (Long-Term Resident): Complete 2026 Guide
The Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa is Thailand’s premium long-stay route, run by the Board of Investment rather than immigration. You get five years, extendable to ten, multiple re-entry, a single annual report instead of the 90-day report, airport fast track, and — depending on category — either a tax exemption on foreign income you bring in or a 17% flat income tax. The fee is just ฿50,000 (about $1,470) for the whole ten years. The catch is qualifying: there are four categories, each with a hard income, asset or employer test. This guide gives you the verified 2026 thresholds, the February 2025 rule changes that made three categories easier, and the two conditions that quietly disqualify most applicants.
Who Qualifies for the Thailand LTR Visa?
There are four categories, and you apply under exactly one. Three of them are income-tested at US$80,000 a year, with a reduced US$40,000 route if you bring something extra — a master’s degree, owned intellectual property, Series A funding, or a Thai investment. The fourth, Wealthy Global Citizen, has no income test at all and looks only at assets and investment.
BOI Announcement No. Por. 3/2568, announced 4 February 2025 following a Cabinet resolution of 13 January 2025, repealed and replaced the original 2022 and 2023 rules. Four things changed: the Wealthy Global Citizen category lost its US$80,000 income test entirely; the Work-from-Thailand employer revenue threshold fell from US$150 million to US$50 million with a new subsidiary route; the five-year work-experience requirement was deleted for both the Work-from-Thailand and Highly-Skilled categories; and dependents were widened to include parents and legal dependents. If a page still tells you that you need five years of experience or a US$150 million employer, it is out of date.
| Category | The test (2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wealthy Global Citizen Assets | US$1,000,000 in global assets plus US$500,000 invested in Thailand | No income test (deleted Feb 2025). Investment must already be held before you apply: Thai government bonds with 5+ years to maturity, direct company or VC/private-equity investment, or property. |
| Wealthy Pensioner 50+ | US$80,000/yr passive income — or US$40,000–80,000 plus US$250,000 invested in Thailand | Must be 50 or over and retired at the time of application. Passive income only — see the warning below. Criteria unchanged in 2025. |
| Work-from-Thailand Professional Employer | US$80,000/yr average over 2 years — or US$40,000 with a master’s degree, owned IP, or Series A funding of US$1M+ | Your foreign employer must be stock-listed, or private with US$50M+ combined revenue over 3 years, or a 100%-owned subsidiary of either. No work permit is issued. No experience requirement since Feb 2025. |
| Highly-Skilled Professional Waivers | US$80,000/yr average over 2 years — or US$40,000 with a science/technology master’s or proven field expertise | Must work in one of 15 targeted industries. Public universities, public research agencies and other public bodies are waived from the income test completely. Gets the 17% flat tax but not the foreign-income exemption. |
| Dependents | Cover, or US$25,000 extra deposit each | Spouse and children under 20; the 2025 announcement also names parents and legal dependents (see the conflict note below). Same-sex marriages are recognised; unmarried partners are not. |
This is the single most misunderstood rule on the LTR. The BOI’s official checklist states that for this category only unearned or passive income counts — interest, dividends, royalties, rental income or a pension. It says explicitly that “income from employment or self-employment such as salaries, director’s fees, allowances, or benefits; in both kind and cash are not accepted”. On top of that, the announcement requires you to be retired at the time of application. So a 55-year-old consultant earning US$120,000 a year does not qualify as a Wealthy Pensioner — they would need to look at the Work-from-Thailand or Highly-Skilled route instead.
The income bar gets the attention, but the employer test is what actually rejects people. Your foreign employer must be listed on a stock exchange, or a private company with at least US$50 million of combined revenue over its last three years, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of one of those. Independent freelancers, solo consultants, and staff at small agencies or startups below that revenue line cannot use this category, however much they earn. If that is you, the Thailand DTV visa is the realistic alternative — it asks for ฿500,000 in savings and has no employer test at all.
Several commercial sites list “maintain US$100,000 in a bank account” as an LTR requirement. It is not. Every category needs one of three cover options: health insurance of at least US$50,000 covering medical expenses in Thailand with at least 10 months remaining when your endorsement letter is issued; or evidence of social security benefits covering medical care in Thailand; or a US$100,000 bank deposit, in Thailand or abroad, held for at least 12 months. Insurance is the cheapest route for most applicants.
The 15 Targeted Industries (Highly-Skilled Only)
Only the Highly-Skilled category has an industry test. The February 2025 announcement broadened the industry names and added transportation and logistics, petrochemicals and chemicals, and the International Business Center. The full list is: automotive; electronics; affluent tourism; agriculture, food and biotechnology; transportation and logistics; automation and robotics; aviation, aerospace and space; biofuels and biochemicals; petrochemicals and chemicals; digital; medical; national defence; supporting industries for the circular economy (such as fuel from waste and water resource management); the International Business Center (IBC); and a fifteenth catch-all for other industries requiring special expertise.
The announcement spells out nine qualifying areas of special expertise, and several have nothing to do with engineering: research and development in targeted technologies, instructors at vocational or higher-education level, applying AI, automation or robotics in business operations, digital systems planning, financial or marketing analysis and advisory services, environmental and energy management, incubator and startup-ecosystem management, alternative dispute resolution, and promoting trade and investment through foreign chambers of commerce. A financial analyst or an arbitration practitioner can qualify here.
The governing announcement (Por. 3/2568, February 2025) defines dependents as “the legitimate spouse, parents, and children under 20 years old or legal dependents” and sets no numeric cap. The follow-up procedural announcement repeats the same wider list. But the ltr.boi.go.th website still publishes the narrower summary: “spouse and children under 20 years old … (Maximum 4 dependents in total per one LTR visa holder)”. If bringing a parent is central to your plan, confirm it with the LTR unit ([email protected]) before you apply rather than relying on either page. Each dependent needs cover of their own, or an extra US$25,000 deposit held 12 months.
How to Apply for the LTR Visa: 6-Step Process
The LTR runs through the Board of Investment, not a consulate queue. You apply online for a qualification endorsement first; only once that is granted do you collect the actual visa. The BOI decides within 20 working days of a complete file.
-
1Pick your category — and be honest about the hard blocks
Applying under the wrong category is the most expensive mistake, because the evidence is completely different. Use the checker above, and note the two blocks that catch people out:
- Wealthy Pensioner — you must be 50+, retired, and living on passive income. A salary is not accepted.
- Work-from-Thailand — your employer must be listed, US$50M+ in revenue, or a subsidiary of one. Freelancers are out.
- Highly-Skilled — your role must sit in one of the 15 targeted industries; public-sector staff skip the income test.
- Wealthy Global Citizen — no income test, but US$1M assets and US$500,000 invested in Thailand before you apply.
-
2Put the cover and any investment in place first
Both have timing rules that catch late applicants:
Insurance must have 10+ months of coverage remaining as at the date your endorsement letter is issued — not the date you apply. A US$100,000 deposit used instead must have been held 12 months. Any Thai investment (US$500,000 or US$250,000) must be owned before the application date — you cannot promise to invest later. -
3Assemble your evidence pack
Common to all categories: passport with 6+ months validity and 2 blank pages, a recent photo, and certified translations of anything not in English or Thai. Then by category:
Category Core evidence Wealthy Pensioner Passive-income proof: a personal tax return (the checklist names Form 1040, SA100 and T1 General alongside Thai forms), or a pension certificate with 12 months of bank statements, or dividend documents with the company’s audited report and shareholder list. Work-from-Thailand CV; an employment letter signed by an authorised person; a company permission letter allowing you to work remotely from Thailand — both dated no more than 3 months before submission; the full employment contract; and company proof (listing evidence, audited accounts showing US$50M+, or subsidiary shareholder certification). Highly-Skilled Employment or service contract for work in Thailand, CV, and evidence your employer’s activity sits in a targeted industry. If using the US$40,000 route, a science/technology master’s certificate or proof of field expertise. Wealthy Global Citizen Asset appraisal totalling US$1M+, plus title or holding documents for the US$500,000 Thai investment in your own name. Small things that get files bounced: the passport scan must be one PDF, chronological, as double-page spreads, including every Thai immigration stamp; damaged passports are refused by the Immigration Bureau (water damage, tears, missing pages, unofficial markings); and the photo must be on a white background in formal or business attire — no T-shirts, glasses or headwear — taken within 6 months and under 2MB. -
4Submit online to the BOI
Register and apply at visa.boi.go.th, or through VFS Global. The One Stop Service Center routes your file to the agencies that need to see it: the Immigration Bureau (admissibility), the Department of Employment, and for Highly-Skilled applicants the BOI plus the digital and science agencies who confirm the targeted industry and your expertise. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs only screens nationals of watch-listed countries.
Dependents apply in a specific order. Each dependent needs their own account. The main applicant starts first to generate a document number (DOC.NO), the dependent then submits, and the main applicant logs back in to approve the link. A sponsorship consent form confirms the family relationship. -
5Endorsement in 20 working days — then 60 days to collect
The BOI notifies you of the result within 20 working days of receiving your application. Once the endorsement letter is issued, the clock starts: you have 60 days to obtain the visa at the One Stop Service Center in Bangkok or at a Royal Thai Embassy or consulate abroad.
Collect in Thailand if you can. The fee is ฿50,000 per person for the full 10 years when collected in Thailand. The BOI warns that at embassies, consulates or by e-Visa the fee “may vary and considerably be more expensive” — consulate listings have quoted around US$1,600. -
6Add the digital work permit if you will work in Thailand
If you are taking up work with an entity in Thailand, apply for the digital work permit through the LTR system immediately after the visa is issued and before employment starts. It takes 3–5 working days and costs ฿3,000 a year, and you are allowed to work while the request is still processing.
Work-from-Thailand Professionals get no work permit. The BOI states this is because you work remotely for a foreign employer and therefore have no Thai employer. Expect to be asked to confirm in writing that you will work only for your overseas employer and will not conduct business or provide services for anyone in Thailand.
Documents Required for the LTR Visa

Total Cost Breakdown
For a ten-year visa the LTR is remarkably cheap — ฿50,000 once works out at around ฿5,000 (about $147) a year. The real money is in the qualifying: insurance, or the deposit or investment you must hold. Note that the investment and deposit figures are money you keep, not money you spend.
| Item | Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Government Fees | ||
| LTR visa fee (collected in Thailand) | ฿50,000 (~$1,470) | Per person, covers the full 10 years with multiple entry. |
| LTR visa fee (embassy, consulate or e-Visa) | More — often quoted ~$1,600 | The BOI states the fee “may vary and considerably be more expensive than 50,000 THB” and depends on each country’s exchange rate. |
| Digital work permit | ฿3,000 per year | Only if you work for an entity in Thailand. Issued in 3–5 working days. Not available to Work-from-Thailand Professionals. |
| 1-year report (TM.95) | Free | Replaces the 90-day report. Re-entry permits are not needed — that exemption is part of the visa. |
| Money You Must Hold (not spend) | ||
| Health insurance | Varies by age — often ~$100–250/mo | Must cover medical expenses in Thailand, US$50,000+, with 10+ months remaining at endorsement. Usually the cheapest of the three cover options. |
| Bank deposit (alternative to insurance) | US$100,000 held 12+ months | An alternative to insurance, not an extra requirement. In Thailand or abroad. |
| Thai investment (some routes) | US$500,000 (WGC) / US$250,000 (WP reduced-income route) | Bonds, company or VC investment, or property. Must be held before applying. |
| Dependent deposit (if not insured) | US$25,000 per dependent | Held 12+ months, in the main applicant’s or the dependent’s own account. |
| Optional | ||
| Agent or law firm | Varies | You can apply yourself at visa.boi.go.th; the BOI publishes a Certified Agency list and runs a free LTR unit. Any fee is on top of the ฿50,000. |
| Core government cost, self-applied | ฿50,000 (~$1,470) for 10 years | Plus ฿3,000/yr only if you need the work permit. Insurance and any investment are separate and depend on your route. |
Dollar equivalents use approximately ฿34 to US$1 (July 2026). The baht moves, and the BOI charges in baht — treat the dollar figures as indicative. In sterling ฿50,000 is roughly £1,140; in Canadian dollars, roughly C$2,140.
Tax on the LTR: 0% or 17%, Depending on Your Category
This is where most LTR write-ups go wrong. The visa does not give everyone tax-free foreign income. Royal Decree 743 creates two different benefits and hands them to different categories — and Highly-Skilled Professionals are excluded from the exemption that everyone assumes is universal.
| Category | Foreign-income exemption? | Flat 17% rate? |
|---|---|---|
| Wealthy Global Citizen | Yes Section 5 | No |
| Wealthy Pensioner | Yes Section 5 | No |
| Work-from-Thailand Professional | Yes Section 5 | No |
| Highly-Skilled Professional | No — excluded | Yes Section 3, on Thai employment income |
Spending 180 or more days in Thailand in a calendar year makes you a Thai tax resident under the Revenue Code. A resident is taxed at progressive rates of 0–35% on Thai-source income and on foreign income brought into Thailand. The LTR benefits are carve-outs from that baseline, not a replacement for it.
Thai personal income tax bands: up to ฿150,000 exempt · ฿150,001–300,000 at 5% · ฿300,001–500,000 at 10% · ฿500,001–750,000 at 15% · ฿750,001–1,000,000 at 20% · ฿1,000,001–2,000,000 at 25% · ฿2,000,001–4,000,000 at 30% · above ฿4,000,000 at 35%.
The foreign-income exemption (Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, Work-from-Thailand)
Section 5 of Royal Decree 743 exempts income earned abroad — from employment, a business carried on abroad, or property situated abroad — when it is brought into Thailand by an LTR holder in one of these three categories. Against the normal remittance rule (in force since 1 January 2024 under Departmental Instruction Por.161/2566, which makes remitted foreign income assessable regardless of the year it was earned), this is a genuinely valuable concession.
Section 5 exempts income “derived in the previous tax year… and brought into Thailand”. Read literally, income you earn and remit in the same calendar year is not covered by those words. Practitioner commentary is split: several Thai advisory firms describe the relief as applying to prior-year income, while a number of commercial visa sites claim it applies regardless of when the income was earned. We are not going to pretend this is settled. If you are a Work-from-Thailand Professional remitting this year’s salary monthly, this is the question to put to a Thai tax adviser before your first full tax year — not after.
The 17% flat rate (Highly-Skilled Professionals only)
Section 3 reduces withholding to 17% on employment income a Highly-Skilled Professional receives from a company carrying on a targeted industry — against a top marginal rate of 35%. Two conditions are easy to miss:
- You must not claim a refund or credit for the tax withheld, in whole or in part. Section 4 makes the exemption from including that income conditional on that.
- You still have to file. Notification of Income Tax No. 427 requires a P.N.D. 95 return for each year you use the benefit — and your employer must have submitted the employee list to the Revenue Department electronically. If either fails in a given year, you lose the benefit for that year.
Section 7 of the Royal Decree is blunt: if you later stop meeting the rules, the tax benefit is suspended for that tax year. Since the BOI separately requires every visa condition to be maintained for the life of the visa, a lapsed insurance policy or a sold-down investment can cost you the tax treatment as well as the visa.
If You’re a US Citizen
- The LTR exemption is a Thai benefit only. The US taxes citizens and Green Card holders on worldwide income wherever they live. A 0% Thai outcome does not reduce your US return — and with no Thai tax paid, there is no foreign tax credit to claim.
- No US–Thailand totalization agreement: self-employed Americans owe US self-employment tax of 15.3% with no offset, because Thailand is not on the SSA totalization list.
- US–Thailand income tax treaty (in force): relief for any Thai tax paid comes via the Foreign Tax Credit; US Social Security is taxable only in the US.
- FEIE and reporting: the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion is $132,900 for 2026 ($130,000 for 2025) — and note it only covers earned income, so it does nothing for a Wealthy Pensioner living on dividends. File the FBAR if foreign accounts exceed $10,000 in aggregate, plus Form 8938 if thresholds are met. Our FEIE 330-day calculator checks whether you pass the physical presence test.
Your home-country treatment differs and it matters more than the LTR itself. For a Briton, the UK State Pension is frozen in Thailand — there is no uprating agreement — and private pensions may be Thai-assessable if remitted. For a Canadian, the Canada–Thailand treaty taxes CPP, OAS and RRSP withdrawals in Canada only, which is the cleanest of the three origins but means Canada withholds at source. Full detail in the corridor guides: Thailand from the UK and Thailand from Canada.
A proposal to exempt foreign income remitted in the year it was earned, or the following year, was drafted in 2025. As of July 2026 it has not been published in the Royal Gazette and is not law. Do not plan remittances around it. If it is eventually enacted it would narrow the gap between LTR holders and everyone else — but until then, the rules described above are what apply.
After Approval: Keeping the Visa for Ten Years
The LTR is granted as five years first, then five more. What most applicants underestimate is that it is not a one-time test — the BOI expects your qualifying position to hold for the whole period.
The BOI states it plainly for all categories: “Every condition and requirement must be maintained during the length of the visa, including investment amounts, employment status, bank account balances, and insurance coverage.” Selling the qualifying investment, letting insurance lapse, dropping below the deposit balance, or leaving the job that qualified you all put the visa at risk — and, under Section 7 of the Royal Decree, the tax benefit too.
-
1File the 1-year report (TM.95) — not the 90-day report
This is one of the LTR’s best perks. Instead of reporting every 90 days, you file once a year on form TM.95. The window is 15 days before to 7 days after the date on your notification card. Bring your passport, the TM.95, and your TDAC or TM.6 if applicable. You can file in person at the service centre or authorise someone else with form TM.61.
The clock resets when you fly. If you re-enter Thailand, the report becomes due one year from your latest arrival — so frequent travellers often never file at all. -
2Travel freely — no re-entry permit needed
The LTR carries multiple re-entry and an exemption from the re-entry permit that other long-stay visa holders must buy before each departure. You also get fast-track service at Thailand’s international airports.
-
3Renew at the five-year mark — start 20 working days early
To get the second five years you apply to the BOI for a fresh qualification endorsement at least 20 working days before your current permission expires, then take the endorsement letter to the Immigration Bureau to extend your permit. You must still meet the criteria — which is why the maintain-your-conditions rule matters.
And after ten years? The procedural announcement contemplates extending beyond the 10-year permission by the same route: apply for endorsement 20 working days ahead and meet the criteria again. It is not automatic, but the LTR is not hard-capped at a single decade. -
4Know the ceiling — still no fast track to residency
Ten years of legal residence does not convert into permanent residency or citizenship. Thai PR remains a separate, quota-limited process (roughly 100 approvals per nationality per year) requiring years of consecutive extensions with a work permit and tax filings. Treat the LTR as an excellent long-stay arrangement, not an immigration pathway.
-
5Practical basics: banking, property, driving
A ten-year visa makes opening a Thai bank account considerably easier than a tourist or DTV entry, and the BOI publishes guidance on both banking and obtaining a Thai driving licence for LTR holders. Foreigners can own a condominium (within the 49% foreign quota per building) but cannot own land. Thailand drives on the left, and converting a foreign licence is not test-free.
LTR vs Thailand’s Other Long-Stay Options
| Visa | Best for | Financial test | Tax concession |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTR 10 yrs | High earners, wealthy retirees, corporate remote workers, skilled professionals | US$80k/yr income, or US$1M assets + US$500k invested | Yes — exemption or 17% flat |
| DTV 5 yrs | Freelancers and nomads who fail the LTR employer test | ฿500,000 savings, seasoned 3 months. No income floor | No |
| Non-O / O-A retirement | Retirees aged 50+ on modest incomes | ฿800,000 in a Thai bank, or ฿65,000/mo | No |
| Thailand Privilege (Elite) | Those who would rather pay than qualify | Membership fee. No income or age test | No |
If your employer is too small, your income is a salary rather than passive, or you are under 50 without US$1M in assets, the Destination Thailand Visa asks only for ฿500,000 in savings held three months and has no employer test. It gives five years with 180 days per entry rather than ten years of continuous residence, and no tax concession — but far more people qualify.
Frequently Asked Questions
The government fee is ฿50,000 per person for the full 10 years (about US$1,470) if you collect the visa in Thailand. If you need the digital work permit, add ฿3,000 per year. Collecting the visa at a Royal Thai Embassy or consulate, or by e-Visa, costs more: the BOI states the fee may vary and be considerably more expensive than ฿50,000, and Thai consulate listings have quoted around US$1,600. You do not spend the US$500,000 or US$250,000 investment figures, and the US$100,000 deposit option is money you hold, not a fee.
The Long-Term Resident visa is a residence visa run by Thailand’s Board of Investment. Permission to stay is granted for five years first and extended for another five if you still meet the criteria, which is why it is described as a 10-year visa. It comes with multiple re-entry, an annual report instead of the usual 90-day report, fast-track immigration at Thai airports, and a digital work permit for those working in Thailand. There are four categories: Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, Work-from-Thailand Professional and Highly-Skilled Professional.
The Board of Investment decides your qualification endorsement within 20 working days of receiving a complete application. Once the endorsement letter is issued you have 60 days to collect the visa, either at the One Stop Service Center in Bangkok or at a Royal Thai Embassy or consulate abroad. If you need the digital work permit, allow another 3 to 5 working days after the visa is issued. Incomplete documents are the main cause of delay, because the clock effectively restarts when the BOI asks for more evidence.
Ten years of permission to stay granted as five plus five, unlimited multiple re-entry with exemption from the re-entry permit, the 90-day report replaced by a single 1-year report, fast-track service at international airports, a digital work permit issued through the same system, and exemption from the rule requiring four Thai employees per foreigner. On tax, Wealthy Global Citizens, Wealthy Pensioners and Work-from-Thailand Professionals get an exemption on qualifying foreign income brought into Thailand, while Highly-Skilled Professionals instead pay a flat 17% personal income tax on their Thai employment income.
The LTR is earned on merit and is cheap: you must pass an income, asset or employer test, but the government fee is only ฿50,000 for ten years, and it carries real tax concessions plus a work permit route. Thailand Privilege, formerly Thailand Elite, is bought: you pay a membership fee running from several hundred thousand baht upward, with no income or age test, but it gives no work rights and no tax concession. In short, the LTR asks whether you qualify while Thailand Privilege asks whether you will pay.
No. Spending 180 or more days in Thailand in a calendar year makes you a Thai tax resident, taxed at progressive rates of 0 to 35% on Thai-source income and on foreign income you bring into the country. The LTR exemption is a specific carve-out created by Royal Decree 743 for three of the four categories, not a general expat exemption, and it does not apply to Highly-Skilled Professionals. If you are American, none of this changes your US filing obligation, because the United States taxes citizens on worldwide income wherever they live.
The Wealthy Pensioner LTR is the route Thailand designed for this: Section 5 of Royal Decree 743 exempts qualifying foreign income brought into Thailand by Wealthy Global Citizens, Wealthy Pensioners and Work-from-Thailand Professionals. Three cautions. You must genuinely be retired and the income must be passive, so a salary will not qualify you. The exemption is written as applying to income derived in the previous tax year, which leaves current-year remittances uncertain. And your home country may still tax the income under its own rules or a treaty. Take Thai and home-country tax advice before relying on it.
It depends on your category. Highly-Skilled Professionals are working in Thailand by definition and receive the digital work permit, which costs ฿3,000 a year and takes 3 to 5 working days. Work-from-Thailand Professionals are not issued a work permit at all: the BOI states this is because they work remotely for a foreign employer and have no Thai employer, and the authorities may ask for written confirmation that you will not conduct business or provide services for anyone in Thailand. Wealthy Global Citizens and Wealthy Pensioners would need a work permit before doing any work in Thailand.
No. You apply directly online through the BOI’s own system at visa.boi.go.th, and the BOI runs a free LTR unit you can email at [email protected] or call in Bangkok. The BOI also publishes a Certified Agency list if you would rather have help, and applications can be lodged through VFS Global. Any agent fee sits on top of the ฿50,000 government fee, so it buys document handling and reassurance rather than a better outcome.
Prefer professional guidance?
The LTR rewards getting the category right first time, and the tax position — particularly the “previous tax year” wording in Royal Decree 743 — genuinely benefits from a Thai tax adviser rather than a forum. A licensed adviser or a BOI Certified Agency can check your evidence against the current per-category checklists before you submit.
