I am a remote working professional from India, planning to relocate to 🇹🇭 along with my partner who has work permit from their office.
Will really appreciate if anyone can suggest which visa should be ideal for me.
Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A remote working professional from India is seeking advice on the best visa options for relocating to Thailand, alongside a partner with a work permit. Suggestions from the community include considering the LTR (Long-Term Resident) visa or the Non-O visa, especially if the individual is married. Some comments also emphasize the importance of ensuring the visa allows for work to avoid legal issues.

do you have a lot of money in liquid assets and plan to buy property here? Or work for a large employer and have high earnings? If the answer is no to both of those, don’t worry about it because you won’t qualify.Jo **********
