Does Thailand have a digital nomad visa?

Yes, Thailand offers a digital nomad visa through its Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa program, specifically the "Highly-Skilled Professional" category, which includes remote workers. This isn't a dedicated "digital nomad visa" by name, but it serves the same purpose. To qualify, you generally need to earn at least $80,000 USD per year. If you earn between $40,000 and $80,000, you need a Master’s degree, IP ownership, or Series A funding. You also need to work for a publicly-listed company or a private company that’s been operating for at least three years with combined revenue of $150 million USD over that period. The LTR visa grants you a five-year stay, extendable for another five years, along with a reduced personal income tax rate of 17% for income earned in Thailand, and exemption from income tax on foreign-sourced income if not remitted to Thailand in the same tax year. This is a significant benefit compared to standard progressive tax rates up to 35%. This visa also provides multiple re-entry permits and fast-track airport service. It's a more robust, long-term option than traditional tourist visas for remote workers. If you meet the income and company criteria, the LTR visa is a solid option for legally living and working remotely in Thailand for an extended period. Always verify the latest requirements on the official Thai Board of Investment (BOI) website.
