Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa cumulative approvals
~7,000-8,000 (Sep 2022 - end-2024)
Thailand's Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa programme, launched September 2022 by the Board of Investment, approved an estimated 7,000-8,000 applicants through end-2024 across the four eligibility tracks (wealthy global citizens, wealthy pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals, highly skilled professionals). Take-up was below the initial 1 million-target trajectory but accelerated meaningfully in 2024 as awareness rose. LTR visa holders enjoy a 10-year renewable stay, 17% flat-rate personal income tax, and unrestricted condominium purchase rights. The programme is a structural demand driver for branded residences in Phuket, Bangkok, and Chiang Mai.
