Siam Legal Recognized as BOI-Certified Agency for LTR Visa Thailand Applications
Thailand’s initiative to attract long-term foreign residents is now showing tangible results. With thousands of approved applicants and billions in economic contributions, the government continues to refine how it supports professionals, retirees, and investors seeking to make Thailand their long-term base.
With the certification of a new legal partner, the process has become more accessible than ever.
Siam Legal Certified by BOI to Assist with LTR Visa Thailand Applications
Siam Legal International has been officially certified by Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) to assist with Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa applications. This certification authorizes the firm to support foreign nationals seeking long-term residence and to provide legal and immigration assistance under BOI standards.
Global Interest in the LTR Visa Thailand
Since its launch in September 2022, the LTR Visa Thailand program has attracted strong global interest, with over 7,000 applications approved.
Europe accounts for 42% of successful applicants, followed by the United States (19%), Japan (9%), China (5%), and India (4%).
The visa appeals to professionals, retirees, remote workers, and high-net-worth individuals seeking stability and a long-term base in Thailand. Clear eligibility rules and streamlined work authorization have made it one of the country’s most sought-after visa options.

Why This Matters to AustCham Members
For Australian professionals, entrepreneurs, and consultants, the LTR Visa Thailand offers a practical route to long-term residency with fewer administrative barriers.
Thailand continues to promote industries where Australia has strong expertise, such as clean energy, robotics, technology, and biotech.
The new Thailand Investment and Expatriate Services Centre (TIESC) at One Bangkok further streamlines visa, work permit, and business services, reducing processing time and complexity.
For AustCham members seeking a long-term base in Asia, these improvements make relocation more straightforward and secure.
