Question about the investment Visa (which doesn't need its own thread)....

The Visa one receives is a one year Visa that they just keep stamping once a year as long as remain a desirable guest? Anyone know of any stories of people buying condos and then getting refused Visa a few years in?

What's a safer route, investment Visa buying a condo or try to buy some equity in a Thai business? When I say safer, I mean preservation of capital.


Actually you have more choices than condo or thai business:


(1)   have been granted a non-immigrant visa (Non Immigrant); and

(2)   have evidence of transferring funds into Thailand of no less than Baht 10 million; and

(i)   have evidence of investing in the purchase or rental of a  condominium unit for a period of no less than 3 years issued by a  relevant agency or government, at a purchase or rental price of no less  than Baht 10 million; or

(ii)  must have evidence of investing in the form of a fixed deposit  of no less than Baht 10 million with a bank which is registered in  Thailand and has Thai nationals holding more than 50 percent of its  shares; or

(iii) must have evidence of investing in the purchase of government or state enterprise bonds of no less than Baht 10 million; or

(iv) must have evidence of making an investment as set out in  criteria (3), (4), or (5) with a total value of not less than Baht 10  million.

Fixed deposit (bounds...) is probably a safer option than a condo or a company.

Hi,


I read on sunbelts' site: "Second hand condominiums are not eligible for this visa type." (investment visa)

http://www.sunbeltle...stment-Visa.php

That's not true right? Even second hand condos are eligible as long as they cost more than 10million?

Sunbelt has now updated its page and deleted the sentence , so I guess second-hand condos are eligible.

You can offer all the tax incentives you like. Until the law is changed for foreign investment to have at least 50/50 share of any business then the current laws will remain flawed..!!

This 49/51 is nonsense!

Well said!
