TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, there is an investment visa available for those who invest a minimum of 10 million baht in a Thai business. This investment can be made through various means, including having funds in a bank account in your name. However, for smaller investments or shares in small businesses, options may be limited. The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) provides more detailed information on investment opportunities and related visa options.

mellow out it was a joke. And you don't get an investment visa by buying stock.

Don’t understand the need to be a cunt for someone asking a question.

Also, there is an investment visa so I really don’t understand why you need to be a cunt and give misinformation.

Need at least 10 million baht for an investment visa. It can be as simple as a bank account your own name.
