Turkish nationals have two main long stay options in Thailand. The Privilege membership is a purchase based stay, while the LTR visa rewards higher means and qualifying profiles with a longer term.
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.
Turkish nationals are eligible for both routes. Neither the Thailand Privilege membership nor the LTR visa publishes a nationality bar against Turkish citizens.
Eligibility turns on means and documents rather than nationality. The Privilege route asks for payment of the membership fee. The LTR route asks you to meet the financial and category tests set for it.
The Thailand Privilege membership is a paid programme that grants a long stay privilege visa and concierge benefits. It has several tiers with different lengths and prices, and no income, asset or investment test.
The LTR visa is a ten year route run by the Board of Investment. It has categories including Wealthy Global Citizen, Wealthy Pensioner, Work from Thailand Professional and Highly Skilled Professional. The Wealthy Global Citizen category asks for total assets of at least US$1 million, with at least US$500,000 invested in Thailand.
Privilege membership is granted after the fee is paid and checks clear, which is usually a matter of weeks. The LTR visa runs through an endorsement step with the Board of Investment before the visa is issued. Confirm current processing targets with the official authority.
Indicative figures are below. Privilege membership pricing depends on the tier you choose. The LTR visa carries a government issuance fee and financial thresholds rather than a single purchase price. Confirm every figure with the official authority.
Both routes give the right to live in Thailand for an extended period without the frequent renewals of standard visas. The LTR visa is valid for ten years, issued in two five year blocks, and includes work and tax features for qualifying holders. Neither route is, by itself, a path to Thai citizenship.
