LTR Visa Thailand for Spouses and Dependents
The LTR Visa Thailand for spouses and dependents allows the applicant to legally work and reside in Thailand for up to 10 years
Should you qualify to receive an LTR Visa, you also have the option to include up to four family members, including your legal spouse and children under the age of 20. Any spouses and dependents are eligible only for the same visa category as the LTR Visa holder, so they will be granted the same rights and put under the same restrictions as you.
The Thailand LTR Visa is available in four distinct varieties:
- Wealthy Global Citizens
- Wealthy Pensioners (Retirees)
- Work-From-Thailand Professionals (Remote workers)
- Highly-Skilled Professionals
Thailand LTR Visa Requirements for Dependents
Each category of the Thailand LTR Visa for dependents comes with its own set of rules and criteria, and you are evaluated according to these specific requirements. To qualify, you must meet all the requirements for your chosen category and provide the necessary documents as proof.
Also, you must either have health insurance with a minimum coverage of 50,000 USD or a deposit of at least 100,000 USD in a Thai bank account.
Additional requirements for dependents:
- Must be legally recognized dependents of the applicant.
- Proof of family relationships such as marriage or birth certificates.
- Must have individual health insurance with a minimum coverage of 50,000 USD.
- Children qualify as dependents only up to the age of 20 and must be unmarried.
- Same-sex marriages are not yet recognized under Thai law, so any spouse must be of a different sex than the primary applicant.
LTR Visa Benefits for Dependents
Understanding the details of moving to Thailand with a family can seem challenging, especially for spouses and dependents. The Thailand Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa program offers a variety of benefits designed to simplify this transition and assist families in adjusting to Thai culture. Benefits range from multi-entry visas and fast-track airport services to employment support and flexible visa options, directly addressing the needs of relocating families. The advantages of a Thai LTR visa include:
- A 10-year visa that allows multiple entries, initially valid for 5 years with the possibility of a 5-year extension.
- Access to fast-track service at Thailand's international airports.
- Annual immigration reporting, as opposed to 90-day reporting as with other visas.
- An exemption from the employment ratio requirement of four Thai nationals to one foreigner, which makes the holder a more attractive candidate to employers.
- A digital work permit for a legally married spouse, issued either by the One-Stop Service (OSS) in Bangkok or a Provincial Labor Office.
- The option to change the LTR Visa to a different type of visa, according to the Thai Immigration Bureau's rules and regulations.
