Thailand is breaking barriers to attract international talent. The Cabinet has approved major changes to the Board of Investment’s LTR Visa criteria, introducing five key advantages to help Thailand stand out from its ASEAN competitors. The new measures are designed to make it easier than ever for global investors and top professionals to live and work in Thailand long-term.
Five Key New Advantages:
- Expanded eligibility: Now includes university and vocational instructors
- Fewer restrictions: Work experience requirements eliminated, and foreign employer income rules relaxed
- Investment focus: "Wealthy Global Citizens" can now qualify with $500,000 in assets instead of annual income
- Extended dependent rights: Parents and unlimited dependents now covered
- Lower tax: Special experts now eligible for a reduced 17% tax rate
Tangible Results:
✅ Over 6,000 foreign talents already attracted from Europe, America, and Japan
✅ Boosting the economy through spending and technology transfer
✅ Building a sustainable global expert network in Thailand
This policy doesn’t just open Thailand’s doors—it paves the way for the country to become Asia’s leading Global Talent Hub, with a system designed for the new generation worldwide!
