Hello members,

I am a remote working professional from India, planning to relocate to 🇹🇭 along with my partner who has work permit from their office.

Will really appreciate if anyone can suggest which visa should be ideal for me.

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A remote working professional from India is seeking advice on the best visa options for relocating to Thailand, alongside a partner with a work permit. Suggestions from the community include considering the LTR (Long-Term Resident) visa or the Non-O visa, especially if the individual is married. Some comments also emphasize the importance of ensuring the visa allows for work to avoid legal issues.
NON-O RETIREMENT VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Go to the Retirement Visa Section for information on requirements, including age restrictions, financial requirements, and necessary documentation.
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Explore recent discussions by using the Non-O Retirement Visa tag in the search box at the top of the page.

You'll be illegally working unless your visa allows a work permit and you obtain one.

 do you have a lot of money in liquid assets and plan to buy property here? Or work for a large employer and have high earnings? If the answer is no to both of those, don’t worry about it because you won’t qualify.
