About Thailand Long Term Resident Visa (LTR)
The Thailand Long Term Resident Visa, often referred to as the LTR Visa, is an official Thai visa for foreign nationals who wish to reside long-term in Thailand and who meet the requirements in one of the approved LTR categories.
The visa is aimed at, among others, people with high income or significant assets, retirees with stable finances, professionals working remotely from Thailand, and highly qualified specialists in selected industries.
The LTR visa is a Multiple Entry visa and can entitle you to stay in Thailand for up to 10 years. The visa is usually issued for two periods of 5 years and can provide simplified rules for longer stays, entry and exit, and reporting during the stay.

You will need the following documents to apply:
- Completed visa application
- Copy of passport information page
- The passport must be valid at least 6 months after the date of entry
