Visa-type overview and how to choose
Thailand offers a range of long-term visa categories. Picking the right one upfront saves time and money and reduces future rejection risk: Non-Immigrant B (Non-B) for workers; Non-O for Thai-family members and 50+ retirees; ED for students; O-A/O-X for retirees meeting financial criteria; LTR — the new 10-year visa for professionals and high earners; Smart Visa for tech/startups; Thailand Privilege Card for those wanting one-time-payment long-stay convenience.
We provide a free eligibility assessment at first contact, evaluating 7 factors: purpose of stay (work, family, retirement, investment), planned duration, income/assets, age, family status (Thai spouse or not), other citizenships, and prior Thai visa history — then recommend the 1–2 best-fit options.
Non-B + Work Permit — details and conditions
Non-B is for foreign workers in Thailand. The Thai sponsoring company must have minimum THB 2M registered capital and employ 4 Thais per 1 foreigner (BOI-promoted companies enjoy relaxed ratios). The company issues an invitation and employment letter — BOI categories can lower both capital and Thai-staff requirements.
Process: 1) Company prepares docs (DBD certificate, shareholder/employee lists via social security, P.N.D. 50/51, office photos). 2) Apply for Non-B at a Thai embassy abroad — usually in the applicant's home country, with Laos and Vietnam being popular hubs (close and fast). 3) Enter Thailand on a 90-day Non-B. 4) Within 30 days, apply for Work Permit at the Department of Employment. 5) Use Non-B + WP to extend to a 1-year visa at Immigration — repeat annually.
Estimated cost: government fees THB 6,000–9,000 + our service THB 25,000–40,000 depending on company readiness. Higher when we must build the company-side documentation from scratch.
LTR 10-year visa — the new top choice for high-tier clients
Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa launched September 2022 grants 10-year stay (5+5). Four categories: 1) Wealthy Global Citizen ($1M assets, $80K income, $500K Thai investment); 2) Wealthy Pensioner (age 50+, $80K pension); 3) Work-from-Thailand Professional ($80K income at a large foreign company); 4) Highly-Skilled Professional (in target industries with $80K income).
Key benefits: 90-day report becomes 1-year report; unlimited free Re-Entry Permit; digital Work Permit free (for categories 3 and 4); 17% flat income tax for Highly-Skilled; free Fast Track at Suvarnabhumi. Our team has handled 200+ LTR cases since launch — we know every pitfall by category.
Caution: BOI (the LTR adjudicator) scrutinizes financial evidence — especially Wealthy Pensioner and Wealthy Global Citizen. Bank statements (6–12 months, bank-certified), latest tax returns, or government-issued pension statements are required. Self-generated evidence (e.g. cash deposits) is not accepted.
Non-O for Thai-family and retirees
Non-O has multiple sub-purposes: 1) Thai-spouse; 2) Thai-child support; 3) Thai-parent support; 4) retiree 50+. Each has its own financial test — spouse: THB 400,000 in a Thai bank for 2 months prior, or THB 40,000/month income. Retiree: THB 800,000 in a Thai bank for 2 months, or THB 65,000/month income.
Tip: open a Thai bank account and start depositing from your first Non-O — most Thai banks require an existing Non-O before opening. We can open accounts at partner banks (Bangkok Bank, Krungsri, KBank) within 2–3 hours.
90-day reports, Re-Entry, and common compliance issues
Every foreigner staying continuously over 90 days must report to Immigration every 90 days. Three channels: in-person, registered mail, or online e-Notification (most convenient but the system is unreliable). Forgetting = THB 2,000 fine + a soft blacklist note (cumulative).
A Re-Entry Permit is required whenever you leave Thailand and want to keep the same visa — leaving without one VOIDS the visa instantly. Single Re-Entry THB 1,000; Multiple THB 3,800 — Multiple is worth it if you travel 4+ times/year. LTR and Elite include free Multiple Re-Entry.
Other common breaches: not filing TM.30 address change, not updating workplace, working outside Work Permit scope — fines are high and visa cancellation is possible. We offer monthly compliance monitoring for LTR/long-stay clients at THB 3,000/month.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I apply inside Thailand or must I exit?
Some can be converted in-country (Tourist → Non-O spouse, Tourist → Non-O retiree, Tourist → ED) but most Non-B and LTR cases require exit. Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia are common hub options.
Can a digital nomad use Non-B/WP?
Not ideal — Non-B is tied to one company. Multi-client freelancers should consider the LTR Work-from-Thailand Professional or Smart Visa T (Talent).
Is the Thailand Privilege (Elite) Visa worth it?
Worth it for clients prioritizing convenience without yearly Immigration runs. Pricing THB 900K–5M by tier (5–20 years) — includes airport Fast Track, free Re-Entry, concierge — but does not authorize work in Thailand; pair with WP/LTR if employed.
Can I get O-A retirement at age 49?
No — must be 50+ at filing. Use Non-O, ED, or another visa first and convert to O-A on turning 50.
How many times can I stack 30+30 visa exempts?
No legal cap but Immigration uses discretion — beyond 4–6 cycles in a year you risk refusal or extra questioning. Better to switch to a long-term visa that fits your situation.
Does BOI really relax Non-B/WP requirements?
Yes — BOI lowers registered capital to THB 1M, relaxes the 4-Thai-per-1-foreigner ratio to 1:1, issues WPs in 7–10 days, and uses the One-Stop Service Center at Chamchuri Square — much faster and easier.
Anything special about Thai income tax for foreigners?
Since January 2024, foreign-sourced income remitted to Thailand is taxed under progressive rates (the previous next-year exemption is gone). This affects LTR/Elite clients with overseas income. We work with partner tax advisors for planning.
Same-sex partnership for visa — possible?
Since the Marriage Equality Act (effective January 2025), LGBTQ+ couples married in Thailand have full equal rights — including Non-O spouse and LTR Dependent. We are already handling such cases.
What if my visa already expired?
Overstay 1–90 days = THB 500/day, capped at THB 20,000, paid at Immigration before exit. Overstay 90+ days = 1–10-year blacklist. We handle urgent cases to manage payment and a low-profile exit.
What about dependent visas for the primary worker's family?
Non-O Dependent is tied to the primary's Non-B; cannot work (separate WP needed); renews with primary. LTR Dependent covers spouse + children under 20 + parents — broader and no separate income test.
