The Thailand Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa is a long-stay framework for specific categories of international applicants, offering up to 10 years of renewable stay rights together with multiple-entry convenience and streamlined administrative procedures. It suits applicants planning long-term living, retirement or work-related residence in Thailand.
