Update on Thailand’s new visa and work permit programmes for expatriates
The Thai government has been developing a new long-term resident visa programme as part of an effort to improve the country’s position as a hub for skilled professionals, and a residence destination for high net-worth individuals. The programme is expected to comprise four new classes of long-term resident visas: (1) professionals living in Thailand but working for an overseas employer, (2) highly skilled professionals employed in Thailand, (3) high net-worth persons, and (4) high net-worth retirees.
