Tips

  • Work rights cover the overseas employer only; Thai employment is not permitted
  • The employer-size test (USD 50M revenue) is the most common failure point; startups usually fall to DTV instead
  • Foreign-sourced income remitted by LTR wealthy categories is tax-exempt; WFTP holders should model Thai tax on remitted income
