Non-Immigrant B (Business)

For working in Thailand — requires a job offer or company; multiple entry options; the legal way to work; complex process.

Non-Immigrant O-A (Retirement)

For over-50s — requires 800,000 THB in Thai bank account or proof of pension; one year validity renewable; popular with long-term expats.

LTR (Long-Term Resident)
