Question 1

Which Thai visa is right for me?

Accepted Answer

The right visa depends on your age, income, employment type, and how long you want to stay. The LTR is best for those earning USD 40,000+ with stable employment or pension income who want 10 years with tax benefits. The DTV suits remote workers and digital nomads with more flexible income. The retirement visa suits those aged 50+ with 800,000 THB in savings. Use the free Visa Assessor to get a personalised recommendation.

Question 2

Can I get a long-term visa for Thailand without a job?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Wealthy Global Citizen LTR category requires assets (USD 500,000 invested in Thailand and USD 1M total) but no income or employment. The retirement visa requires proof of pension or savings. The DTV requires approximately 500,000 THB in savings rather than active employment income.

Question 3

What is the minimum income for a Thai long-term visa?

Accepted Answer

The DTV has the lowest threshold approximately 500,000 THB in savings or equivalent proof of income. The LTR retirement (Wealthy Pensioner) category starts at USD 40,000/year with a qualifying Thai investment, or USD 80,000/year without one. The LTR Work-from-Thailand category starts at USD 40,000/year with a qualifying credential.
