The residence routes open to Brits moving to Thailand, with income thresholds shown in GBP, costs, timelines and eligibility.
Thailand offers Brits 3 main residence routes: digital nomad and retirement visa. The most accessible starts at roughly £1,349/month in qualifying income.
As a British passport holder you can already enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days, so you can scout neighbourhoods, view property and open a bank account before committing to a long-stay visa.
Income thresholds on this page are converted to GBP using exchange rates as of 2026-07-08, so they track live rates rather than a fixed assumption. 1 of these routes carries no local tax on qualifying foreign income.
The quickest route is typically decided in about 1 month.
