Thailand offers two long stay routes for foreign nationals, the Thailand Privilege membership and the Long Term Resident visa run by the Board of Investment. Lebanese nationals can apply on the same basis as other foreign applicants. This page sets out the current position so you can plan.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Lebanese nationals are eligible. Both routes are open to foreign nationals generally and there is no reported nationality bar. Neither route is a citizenship route, and the Privilege membership grants long stay rights without work authorisation.
The right route depends on your assets, income or profession rather than your nationality. Confirm the live eligibility rules with the Board of Investment for the LTR visa, and with Thailand Privilege Card Company Limited for the membership.
The Thailand Privilege membership is a paid lifestyle program offering long stay rights and concierge services across tiers of different lengths, with no income or asset test. The Long Term Resident visa is a ten year route, issued for an initial five years and renewable for five more, across categories that include wealthy global citizens, wealthy pensioners, professionals working remotely for an overseas employer and highly skilled professionals in targeted industries. Confirm which route fits your plans with the relevant authority before paying.
Privilege membership is typically issued after payment and background screening. The Long Term Resident visa runs through a qualification and endorsement process with the Board of Investment. Confirm current scheduling with the relevant authority.
The figures below reflect published membership fees and the main Long Term Resident requirements. The wealthy global citizen category sets an asset test and an investment in Thailand, while applicants generally show health insurance or a set bank balance. Treat these as a starting point and confirm the current amounts with the relevant authority.
