Hi good people. Im wondering if there is an 'investment visa' available to a EU national who wants to view/buy property here, and if so what that entails... alternately, can you currently apply for the 'elite visa' from the UK ( or Spain) and if so, what is the usual wait to be approved so you can enter Thailand. Im assuming in both cases, should they be possible, the 14day government quarantine applies. Many thanks in advance.
Answer summary
The post inquires about the availability of an investment visa for EU nationals interested in buying property in Thailand, as well as the possibility of applying for the elite visa from the UK or Spain. Comments provide insights into contacting the BOI for the investment process, the expected timeline for elite visa approval, and the need for quarantine upon entry.

Re the Elite visa, yes you can apply from UK or Spain and mine took just 3 weeks last year but now maybe a couple more weeks or so I hear.

There's been talk that Elite might be part of the next group of foreigners to be allowed. Keep an eye on news +/ talk with them directly. Very responsive.

Thanks guys. Do you know if there is a minimum investment requisite and do you need to commit to anything in order to obtain this?

For the investment visa you contact the BOI before you make your investment,

For return to Thailand, you contact the Thai Embassy in the region where you are and follow their instructions,
