ORIGINAL POSTERIs there a new visa being prepared for investors who purchase property worth more than 3 million baht?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Thailand is reportedly preparing a new Long-Stay Visa for international investors who purchase property worth over 3 million baht. To qualify, investors can buy a condominium at that price, rent a property at 85,000 baht/month, or enter a long-term lease of 3 years totaling at least 3.06 million baht. However, there is skepticism regarding the legitimacy of such a visa, with some community members suggesting it might be a marketing strategy by developers rather than a formalized program.

Many developers are pushing this idea but so far it is still a rumor.
Nothing has been made law. There are no additional visa options at this time.

Visa duration: about 12–15 months, depending on the option.
If you already bought property, you may still be able to apply - agencies can help process the visa.

3 million is not a big investment. I doubt it.

Recently there has been a bit of social media regarding a development company out of Phuket with ties to the former Prime Minister. It was announced that a minimum 3 million purchase in their development would secure a visa. If I recall they also had a development in Chiang Mai that was qualifying as well. It appeared that there is some Russian real estate involvement in this venture. Regardless, I'd be wary.

Wannikea yes it all seemed a little suspect to me.
As I am sure I read it the visa was only for 1 year as well.
