🇹🇭 Thailand · Permanent Residency
Permanent residency and golden-visa paths: eligibility, required years, investment thresholds, and official checklists.
Thailand offers permanent residence, but it is tightly limited: an annual quota caps approvals at roughly 100 people per nationality, and applicants generally need to have held a non-immigrant visa with work permit and to have paid tax for several consecutive years. Long-stay visas such as the DTV and LTR do not lead to permanent residence. The Immigration Bureau handles PR.
- PR is tightly limited by an annual quota of roughly 100 approvals per nationality.
