TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around the bank deposit requirements for obtaining a visa in Thailand. While one comment suggests that an actual investment visa requires a deposit of 10 million baht, others inquire about the specific type of visa and provide alternatives like the Thai Elite visa and Smart Visa, which cater to investors and have different requirements.

Try Smart-I Visa, that is for Investors, Smart Visa is 4year visa renewable yearly. after 4years you are entitled to either LTR 10years or Permanent Residence, It depends. If you need a consultant for that I can recommend you to my BOI contact. just message me.

The minimum for an actual investment visa is bt10million, but that is not the only requirement. There is also an extensive background check.

you need to contact the BOI and ask your questions directly to them. I doubt you'll find anyone here that knows anything
