FAQ
Does the LTR give tax benefits?
Some categories (e.g. highly-skilled professionals) get a flat personal income-tax rate, and foreign-income rules can be favourable. Confirm specifics with BOI and a tax advisor.
Do I still do 90-day reports on LTR?
No — LTR holders report once a year, a key advantage over most long-stay visas.
