How the process runs

01
Building global assets from $1,000,000
In the applicant’s name, already in place at filing — not in progress.
02
Investing $500,000+ specifically in Thailand
Bonds (5+ years), a company, or real estate — types can be combined.
03
Arranging health insurance or an alternative
From $50,000 coverage, Thai social security, or a $100,000+ account balance (12+ months).
04
Filing through the BOI portal (ltr.boi.go.th)
Online document submission.
05
Receiving the visa for 10 years
Initial 5 years, renewable for another 5 while conditions are maintained.

A good fit if

You have global assets from $1,000,000, already in place at the time of filing.
You are prepared to invest at least $500,000 specifically in Thailand — bonds, a company, or real estate.
You don’t want to separately prove income — since February 2025 this is not required at all.
You are considering long-term status for 10 years with the right to apply for a work permit.

A poor fit if

You are counting on the outdated $80,000/year income requirement — it was removed in February 2025; only the asset threshold now applies.
Your assets are below $1M or your Thailand investment is below $500,000.
You plan to make the investment AFTER filing — the rules require the investment and assets to already be in place at the time of filing.
You want a visa not tied to capital — the site may have other LTR categories (not covered on this page) that fit better.

Frequent questions

Why do many sites still mention $80,000/year income?

That requirement applied before February 2025 — Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) officially removed it for the Wealthy Global Citizen category, but the old figure continues to appear on unupdated sources.

Can different investment types be combined for the $500,000 in Thailand?

Per the available data, yes — bonds, a company, and real estate can be combined to reach the overall threshold.

Must the assets already be in place before filing?

Yes — per the available data, the applicant must already hold the required assets and have already made the investment at the time of filing, not in progress.

What can replace the $50,000 health insurance?

Per the available data, alternatives include participation in Thailand’s social security system, or a bank account balance from $100,000 held for at least 12 months.

Does this visa grant the right to work in Thailand?

Per the available data, the LTR Visa generally grants eligibility to apply for a work permit — specific employment conditions are not detailed on this page.

What happens if assets fall below $1M after receiving the visa?

This page states that conditions must be maintained throughout the visa validity for renewal — the exact consequence mechanism for a temporary asset decline is not disclosed; check with the BOI or the appointed firm.
