How it works
Find your category
Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, Work-from-Thailand Professional or Highly Skilled Professional. We test your facts against each and pick the strongest route.
Prepare the evidence
Income, assets, employment and insurance evidence assembled to the BOI standard, reviewed before anything is submitted.
Endorsement to visa
We support the BOI endorsement, then the visa issuance, and set up your annual reporting and re-entry planning.
Why use Sabai & Co.
The LTR rewards preparation. Weak evidence means months of back and forth.

Many applicants qualify under more than one category. We choose the one with the cleanest evidence path for you.
BOI-standard documents
The endorsement lives or dies on documentation. We prepare yours to the standard the BOI expects.
Long-term setup

Frequently asked questions
What is the LTR visa?
The Long-Term Resident visa is a ten-year Thai visa for four groups: wealthy global citizens, wealthy pensioners, work-from-Thailand professionals and highly skilled professionals.
What are the main benefits of the LTR?
Ten-year validity, annual reporting instead of the 90-day report, fast-track airport service, multiple re-entry, and depending on category a digital work permit and tax advantages.
What income do I need for the LTR?
It depends on the category. Thresholds are set by the Board of Investment and adjusted periodically, so we verify the current requirement for your category before you commit.
Can I work in Thailand on an LTR visa?
The Highly Skilled and Work-from-Thailand Professional categories can come with a digital work permit. Other categories do not grant local work rights by themselves.
Do LTR holders file 90-day reports?
No. The LTR replaces the 90-day report with a single annual report, one of its biggest quality-of-life benefits.
