Residency by Investment
A clear pathway to long-term residency in Thailand through investment, wealth or long-stay programmes.
Overview
Thailand does not offer a single visa branded as a 'Golden Visa', but it provides several investment and wealth-based residency routes that achieve the same outcome: long-term, renewable residency for qualifying individuals and their families.
The principal pathways include the Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa, the Thailand Elite Visa, and investment-backed extensions of stay. Each carries distinct eligibility criteria, costs and benefits. We help international clients select the right route, prepare the application and maintain compliant residency.
