ORIGINAL POSTER

Are there any visa options for Thailand that are based on investment ? Like in the form of property or government bonds? I have been interested in the elite for quite some time but my hesitancy is that it does not provide a path towards permanent residency. Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

In Thailand, there are several visa options based on investment, including the 10 million baht investment visa available through the Board of Investments (BOI). This visa allows for investments in property or government bonds. However, the Thailand Elite visa, while it offers benefits for long-term stays, does not provide a pathway to permanent residency.
