LTR visa for 10 years — new rules
Key changes:
No longer required to prove an income of $80,000 per year! Now, it’s enough to have assets worth at least $1 million and invest a minimum of $500,000 in Thailand (e.g., in real estate or stocks).
The five-year experience requirement for highly qualified specialists and remote workers ("Work from Thailand") has been canceled.
The minimum income threshold for remote workers’ companies has been lowered to $50 million over three years (previously it was $150 million).
The possibility of including more family members in the application has been expanded: parents, children up to 20 years old, and other legal dependents.
