DTV vs LTR Visa — which one fits me?

DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) suits freelancers/digital nomads — 5-year multi-entry, 180-day stay per entry, fee THB 10,000. LTR (Long-Term Resident) suits executives/wealthy retirees — 10-year validity, includes work permit, fee THB 50,000, plus 17% flat tax for Highly-Skilled Professionals.

What documents do long-stay visas need?

DTV: passport + THB 500,000 in 6-month bank statements + proof of remote work or foreign employer letter. LTR: USD 80,000/yr income (Wealthy Pensioner) or USD 40,000 + USD 250,000 Thailand investment + USD 50,000 health insurance coverage.

What does NYC Language Institute charge for visa packages?

Full-service consultation + document prep + BOI/Immigration filing: DTV from THB 15,000; LTR from THB 65,000. Includes certified translation, MFA legalisation, and all government fees. Timeline: DTV 4–6 weeks, LTR 8–12 weeks depending on document readiness.

I had a prior refusal—can I still apply?

Yes—disclose the previous refusal grounds and we will draft a rebuttal cover letter and strengthen the profile (sponsor letter or fixed deposit if needed).

How much balance do I need?

Schengen typically THB 150,000+ (based on €100/day × trip length), USA B1/B2 recommend THB 250,000+, UK recommend THB 200,000+.

Schengen 15-30 days, UK 15 days (add THB 3,200 for 5-day priority), USA 3-8 months to interview, Canada 20-40 days.

Do I need to visit your office?
