Written by Global Immigrate consultants · Reviewed by Fergus Wu, Co-founder & Chief Immigration Consultant

Summary

Mr Ho’s Thailand long-term residency experience. His children attend international school in Bangkok, and he wanted long-term residence for the family.

Background

Mr Ho, from Hong Kong, applied with his wife and two children. His children attend international school in Bangkok, and he wanted long-term residence for the family.

Main concern

He needed a stable long-term arrangement so the children could study without disruption.

Our approach

We compared the LTR and Thailand Privilege and chose the right long-term route for the family.

Process and outcome

The family received long-term residence in about 2 months.

Adviser’s comment

Families with children at school locally should choose a longer, more stable residence arrangement.

Thailand long-term residency application process

  1. Assessment and choice of route (1 week): We compare LTR and Privilege against your assets, income and needs.
  2. Prepare and apply (2–4 weeks): Prepare the documents and submit the application.
  3. Background check (About 1–3 months): The Thai Government carries out a background check.
  4. Payment and visa (After approval): Pay the membership fee or complete the investment and receive your long-term visa.

FAQ

How do I choose between LTR and Privilege?

Privilege grants residence for a membership fee with simple formalities, suiting families who want to live long term without a large investment; LTR needs more assets or income but offers a 10-year visa and work benefits.

Can I obtain permanent residence or citizenship?

Neither route leads directly to permanent residence or citizenship.

Can I work in Thailand?

Privilege membership does not include the right to work; some LTR categories can apply for a digital work permit.
