How to apply for a long-term residence visa in Thailand

At present, the common types of long-term residence visas are: pension visa, business visa, work visa and marriage visa.

1, pension visa.

Foreigners who are over 50 years old (over 50 years old and have certain financial ability) can apply for a Thai pension visa, which can stay for 15 months for the first time and need to be renewed every year. The pension visa is signed once a year, and the holder can freely enter and leave Thailand many times during the validity period).

2. Business signs.

A business visa is also called a "universal visa". Because, in Thailand, you can extend your work visa and student visa for one year on the basis of your business visa without leaving the country. At the same time, the business visa can replace the "O" visa. For example, you want to marry a Thai, come to Thailand to support the elderly, come to Thailand to take refuge with relatives and so on. You can apply for a business visa and transfer it directly to other long-term visas.

3. Work visa.

Work permit is one of the proofs that foreigners work legally in Thailand. From a legal point of view, non-Thais (including bosses) in Thailand must obtain such permission to be eligible for work remuneration. As long as you work in Thailand, your company in Thailand will apply to the Thai Ministry of Labor for a work permit, and you can legally stay and renew it once a year.

4. Marriage visa.

Another way to get a long-term visa is a marriage visa. If you marry a Thai, you can apply for a marriage visa, which is also renewed once a year, and you can apply for a permanent residence permit two years later.
