What are the updated requirements and benefits of the LTR 10-year Visa in Thailand?

The LTR 10-year Visa in Thailand has been presented as a desirable option for expatriates, particularly for those financially secure enough to invest significantly in the country. Key topics of discussion include the investment criteria—questioning whether purchasing Thai bonds, property, or a combination thereof qualifies—and the potential benefits this visa might have over other visa options like the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). Several comments highlight concerns regarding accessibility, the need for proof of income, and whether those requirements could potentially hinder the application process. Additionally, ambiguities about definitions (e.g., what constitutes 'intellectual property' and 'targeted work industry') and pathways to citizenship are also mentioned, showing a need for clearer guidelines from authorities.
