My question is for Bulgarians. For Bulgarian citizens, what are the options to get a Thai residency. 1 year, 5 year, 10 year , 20 year? And what if you are over 50 years old?
Thailand seems to have relegated it to visa on arrival.
TLDR : Answer Summary
Bulgarian citizens looking for residency options in Thailand face limited choices. Options include the LTR (Long-Term Resident) visa if financial criteria are met, and the Elite Visa for affluent individuals. Those over 50 can apply for a NON-O visa based on their age and need to meet specific financial requirements, which allows for yearly extensions. Permanent residency is challenging, requiring several years of non-immigrant visa status, employment in Thailand, and other legal requirements. Overall, while there is some flexibility, especially with financial means, the opportunities for residency are quite limited.
