Два популярных long-stay маршрута путают заявителей: Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) от Immigration/MFA и Long-Term Resident (LTR) от BOI. Разные профили и budgets.
Быстрое сравнение
| DTV | LTR | |
|---|---|---|
| Типичный заявитель | Remote workers, qualifying activities | Wealthy pensioners, skilled workers, investors |
| Срок | Multi-year pattern (verify notice) | До 10 лет (category-dependent) |
| Funds evidence | Commonly USD 500k savings equivalent | Higher thresholds per LTR category |
| Work in Thailand | Remote foreign employer (not Thai payroll) | Category-specific; Thai employment may need work permit |
| Hub | /visas/dtv | /visas/ltr |
Кому DTV
- Remote work для non-Thai employer
- Текущие savings / activity evidence
- Visa-category route, не BOI application
Deep dive: DTV overview
Кому LTR
- BOI LTR category (wealthy pensioner, highly skilled, etc.)
- Higher financial and insurance thresholds
- Longer permission horizon с programme support
Кому ни то, ни другое
- Pure tourism → exemption или TR
- Thai employer → Non-B + work permit
- 50+ с 800k THB bank path → Retirement Non-O может быть проще
- Membership budget → Thailand Privilege — другой продукт
