Thailand — Residency

Thailand Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa — Wealthy Global Citizen

Processing time: 1–2 months
Physical presence: No minimum stay is required to keep the visa, and the usual 90-day reporting is relaxed to once a year — well suited to a part-time base rather than full relocation.
Family: Spouse and children under 20, up to a maximum of four dependants per LTR holder.

Limits and drawbacks

This is long-stay residency, not citizenship. Thai naturalisation is rare, slow and out of reach for most, so do not treat the LTR as a route to a Thai passport.
The Wealthy Global Citizen route requires 1,000,000 USD in total assets, of which at least 500,000 USD must sit in qualifying Thai assets, plus health insurance of 50,000 USD or a 100,000 USD deposit held twelve months.
Reported criteria have shifted — some 2025-2026 sources say the income test was dropped for the wealthy route, others still list an 80,000 USD income. Confirm the current requirements directly with the Board of Investment before applying.
Foreigners cannot own land freehold in Thailand, which constrains the real-estate route to condominiums or leasehold structures.

What it gets you

A 10-year renewable visa (5 + 5) — long horizon, no annual visa runs
Tax exemption on foreign-source income for LTR holders
Digital work permit and exemption from the four-Thais-to-one-foreigner hiring ratio
Annual reporting instead of the usual 90-day report, plus airport fast-track

What we do for you

Citizenship or residence, the honest answer often is not the one you arrived with. We take the whole procedure with you — eligibility, the route that fits your situation, the file, the follow-up — with one person on your side throughout.

For Thailand specifically, you are talking to someone who already knows the file: who to speak to on the ground, what the unit actually asks for, and the points where applications stall.

One point of contact, from the first call to the certificate
Vetted partners on the ground — law firms, licensed agents, banks — introduced, not listed
It starts with a short qualifying call, and no, it is not a sales call
