TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses experiences and insights related to obtaining an Investor Visa in Thailand. A key point is that the Board of Investment (BOI) plays a critical role in approvals and individual case assessments. One commenter shared their personal experience with a BOI-promoted investment, highlighting that a direct investment of 10 million baht can be easier to process without extensive paperwork. The discussion also mentions options such as depositing funds in Thai banks or purchasing property directly from developers. Overall, it provides useful details for prospective investors.

I have boi promoted non IB but agent did all papers and it's for working investment projects. Investment visa 10mil is much easier because there isn't company or boi papers going. I have read that transfer 10mil to thai bank deposit or buy condo direct from developer and can combined too. After that you just apply initial visa outside thailand.

there is also an extensive background investigation. The whole process takes from 3-4 months. Buying a house is not an approved investment as you can not own the land. Only buying a condo approved by them works.

All decisions, judgments, approvals and acceptance is done by the BOI. They are the ones you want to contact to ask any questions because this type of visa is very dependent upon each person's individual situation and the decisions of the BOI. You'll need to coordinate with them from the begining.
