Thailand offers a genuinely affordable, beautiful base with renowned private healthcare—and, as of recently, real long-stay structure instead of endless visa runs.

Remote workers now have the Destination Thailand Visa: five years, multiple entry, and must have around 500,000 THB (~$14,500) in savings.

Retirees 50+ can use the retirement route (800,000 THB in a Thai bank or 65,000 THB/month income), and higher earners may qualify for the 10-year long-term resident visa.
