Thailand offers the same visa options as noted for Chiang Mai. The Tourist Visa Exemption gives 30 days for most nationalities. The Tourist Visa (TR) provides 60 days, extendable by 30. The Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa offers up to 10 years for remote workers earning $80,000+/year with a 17% tax rate. Thailand's Elite Visa (now called Thailand Privilege) offers 5-20 year stays starting at 600,000 THB ($17,000) but provides no work permission. For most nomads, the visa exemption with extensions and occasional border runs remains the most practical approach for stays under 6 months.
