Thailand stay & visa — DTV, O-A retirement, LTR, 90-day report

Start here — three doors

Remote work or soft-power stay. Check the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
Retire at 50+ without working. Check Non-Immigrant O-A.
High-income / investment long stay. Check LTR under BOI Por. 3/2568.

What the codes mean4 terms in plain language

DTV: Destination Thailand Visa — 5-year multi-entry for remote workers and soft-power stays
LTR: Long-Term Resident visa — 10-year track for wealthy or skilled applicants
180 days: Thailand's tax-residence line — 180 days in a calendar year (Revenue Code §41), not 183
work permit: separate paper that makes the job lawful — a visa alone does not

Common questions

Does the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) let me work in Thailand?

No. A DTV is a stay visa, not a work permit. Remote work for a foreign employer and local employment are separate machines — read the earn pillar.

How long can I stay on a DTV per entry?

Up to 180 days per entry on a five-year multiple-entry visa. MFA materials state the stay is extendable once inside Thailand through immigration. Apply from outside Thailand.

What money do I need for an O-A retirement visa?

MFA lists three limbs: a bank deposit of at least 800,000 THB, monthly income of at least 65,000 THB, or a deposit-plus-income combination totalling at least 800,000 THB. You must be 50 or older. Employment is prohibited.

Which LTR category fits me?

BOI Por. 3/2568 names four: Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, Work-from-Thailand Professional, and Highly Skilled Professional. Income and investment floors differ — open the LTR section below, then confirm on ltr.boi.go.th.

Do I still need the 90-day report?

Yes. Long-stayers must report address under Immigration Act B.E. 2522 Art. 37(5). This is immigration housekeeping, not tax residence (180 days is the tax test).

Common questions

Does the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) let me work in Thailand?

No. A DTV is a stay visa, not a work permit. Remote work for a foreign employer and local employment are separate machines — read the earn pillar.

How long can I stay on a DTV per entry?

Up to 180 days per entry on a five-year multiple-entry visa. MFA materials state the stay is extendable once inside Thailand through immigration. Apply from outside Thailand.

What money do I need for an O-A retirement visa?

Which LTR category fits me?

Do I still need the 90-day report?

Yes. Long-stayers must report address under Immigration Act B.E. 2522 Art. 37(5). This is immigration housekeeping, not tax residence (180 days is the tax test).
