ORIGINAL POSTER

Looks like they're tweaking the LTR requirements a bit. 

Remote worker: company needs to show 50 million in income over 3 years instead of 150 million. 

Wealthy global citizen: no more monthly income requirement

Remove the cap on dependant LTR visas from 4 to unlimited. 

They are also gutting the Smart visa program and completely getting rid of it except for the Startup category.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Recent updates to Thailand's Long Term Resident (LTR) visa requirements include a reduction in the income threshold for remote worker companies from 150 million to 50 million over three years, the elimination of monthly income requirements for wealthy global citizens, and an increase in the cap on dependent LTR visas from 4 to unlimited. Additionally, changes are being made to the Smart visa program, particularly its discontinuation except for the startup category.

Remote worker: the company needs to show $50M USD over 3 years, not the individual? Is there any minimum income requirement for the individual?
