Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as LTR Wealthy?
Yes, LTR Wealthy Pensioner is the official category name. It is sometimes called LTR Retirees for clarity.
How does this compare to a retirement visa?
LTR: 10 years, no 90-day reporting, no Re-entry Permit, USD 80,000 passive income, ฿50,000 fee. Retirement: 1 year, annual renewal, 90-day reporting, ฿800,000 deposit or ฿65,000/month, ฿1,900/year. LTR is more expensive upfront but far less ongoing work.
What is the 17% tax rate?
LTR holders can opt for a flat 17% income tax rate on Thai-sourced income. This is a significant advantage over the standard progressive rates. Consult a tax professional.
