Application for Qualification Endorsement — Work-From-Thailand Professional (LTR Visa)

The “Application for Qualification Endorsement for Work-From-Thailand Professional” is the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) form for the Work-From-Thailand Professional category of the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa programme. With it, the BOI checks whether the applicant meets the category criteria and endorses the qualification; the LTR visa itself is issued afterwards on the basis of that endorsement.

The category is meant for people employed by an established overseas company who want to work remotely from Thailand. The form is published on the official BOI LTR portal.

• personal income of at least USD 80,000 a year in the past 2 years — or at least USD 40,000 a year plus one of: a master’s degree or above, intellectual property, or series A funding of at least USD 1 million;
• at least 5 years of work experience in the related field in the past 10 years;
• an employer that is a public company listed on a stock exchange, or a private company in operation for at least 3 years with combined revenue of at least USD 150 million in the last 3 years;
• medical cover: health insurance of more than USD 50,000 with at least 10 months remaining, social security benefits covering treatment in Thailand, or a deposit of at least USD 100,000 held for at least 12 months.

The criteria may change — always check the current conditions on the BOI LTR portal before applying.
