What does the new Digital Work Permit for the BOI LTR visa look like and how much does it cost?

Mars ************

@Brandon ***********

thank you ... i am thinking the "Digital" means more like nomads can get a work permit for their remote digital work, as why else is it a listed benefit of the LTR visa ? Whether the work permit itself is digital compared to paper is of no value... just thinking aloud ..

@Stuart ********

thank you ...so it seems I could get a non imm O in country now, gives 90 days ...and then get extension to 12 months. Can i buy re entry rights on this, so can travel in / out ? If so, works for me and saves hassle of applying OA overseas i guess.

What are the challenges and requirements of Thailand's Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa for expats?

Mars ************

They were quick to reply with good factual points but the details are what need to see - ie how often in a 10 yr LTR visa do you need to prove funds...once only then get 10 yr visa ? Doubt it
