Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Thailand LTR visa?
The Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa is a 10-year visa introduced in 2022 for wealthy global citizens, wealthy retirees, work-from-Thailand professionals, and highly skilled professionals. It offers benefits including a 10-year renewable visa, reduced personal income tax rates, and exemption from the 4-foreigner-to-1-Thai employee ratio for certain categories.
What is 90-day reporting in Thailand?
Every foreign national staying in Thailand for more than 90 consecutive days must report their current address to Thai Immigration every 90 days. This can be done in person, by mail, or online. Failure to report on time results in a 2,000 Baht fine.
