Thailand · 10-year residency
Overview
What is the LTR visa and who qualifies?
The LTR visa is a Thai government program that grants a 10-year residency-class visa to four categories of applicants. The visa comes with a long-stay permit, a multiple re-entry privilege, and a 90-day reporting cycle.

Highly Skilled Professional
Every category also requires: USD 50,000+ health insurance or USD 100,000 in liquid assets held for 12 months.
Documentation
What documents does an LTR application require?
An LTR application runs through Thailand's Board of Investment (BOI), not standard immigration. The document set is heavier than a tourist or Non-Immigrant visa. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so document authentication follows a country-specific path.
Proof of Income or Assets
Category-specific thresholds apply — from USD 80K/year income to USD 1M+ in global assets depending on your category.
Health Insurance
Valid health insurance with USD 50,000+ coverage meeting BOI's current requirements.
Background Certificate
Criminal background certificate authenticated appropriately for your nationality — not a standard apostille.
Employment or Business Docs
Employment letter, contracts, or business registration — exact documents depend on your LTR category.
Valid Passport
Passport must remain valid throughout the full application and processing period.
Risk Reduction
How does Issa Compass reduce LTR rejection risk?
Most LTR rejections trace to a single missed document or a requirement the applicant did not know existed. Issa Compass's Visa Intelligence engine checks every submission against a comprehensive rules database before the application leaves your hands.

Long-stay Comparison
How does the LTR visa compare to other long-stay options?
The LTR is not the only path to extended Thailand residency. The right choice depends on your income source, employment situation, and long-term plans.
| Visa | Max Term | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|
| LTR | 10 years | High-net-worth individuals, skilled professionals, pensioners above income thresholds |
| DTV | 5 years (180 days per entry) | Remote workers, freelancers, activity-qualified applicants |
| Non-Immigrant O (Retirement) | 1 year, renewable | Retirees meeting 800,000 THB savings or 65,000 THB monthly income |
