Question 1

How does the Visa Eligibility Wizard work?

NYC Language Institute · Accepted Answer

Answer 5 short questions — purpose for staying in Thailand, stay length, work plans, whether you are 50+, and financial standing. The wizard scores all 7 long-stay Thai visas and recommends the best fit with reasons. It takes about 60 seconds.

Question 2

Is this a substitute for a lawyer?

NYC Language Institute · Accepted Answer

The wizard provides a directional recommendation, not legal advice. Complex cases — criminal records, foreign-tax exposure, non-standard marital status — should be reviewed by NYC directly.

Question 3

Is my data stored?

NYC Language Institute · Accepted Answer

No. The wizard is a fully client-side React component — all 5 answers run in your browser's local memory, are never sent to a server, are not written to localStorage or sessionStorage, and no identifying cookies (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.) are set on the wizard route. Refreshing the page clears every answer. GDPR/PDPA compliant by design.

Question 4

DTV or LTR for digital nomads?

NYC Language Institute · Accepted Answer

Income < USD 80K/yr → DTV (5 yr, THB 10K fee, THB 500K bank proof). Income ≥ USD 80K/yr with a publicly-listed or qualifying employer → LTR Work-from-Thailand Professional (10 yr + Digital Work Permit + foreign-income tax exemption).

Question 5

Can I get Non-O Retirement under 50?

NYC Language Institute · Accepted Answer

No — Non-O Retirement requires age 50+. For long stays under 50, consider DTV, LTR (HSP/WFTP), Non-O Marriage (if married to a Thai), or Non-B + Work Permit.
