Thailand's Long Stay Visa for international investors provides a practical pathway for foreigners who want extended residency through qualifying real estate commitments. Unlike the LTR or Elite visas, this option is accessible at a lower investment threshold — starting from just ฿85,000/month in rent or a ฿3 million condo purchase.

The Long Stay Visa offers three distinct qualification routes based on real estate investment. Each has different financial thresholds and documentation requirements. Choose the path that best fits your budget and long-term plans.
