I know the answer for sure, because I just asked BOI about this. Since foreigners cannot own land, only condos and houses that have a house sale apart from the land will qualify. Properties owned under a company structure do not qualify, even for the foreigner's shareholder portion of the company. The condo or house purchase only qualifies for the amount officially registered on the government sales agreement, not the actual purchase price, when there is a difference.

yes, I am a foreigner

I top up at a True payment kiosk every week for over 3 years and often top up 15,000 or more at a time. The kiosk is a machine that looks like an ATM machine.

@Daniel *******

you can top up at any True payment kiosk (mostly in True shops) and can top up as much as you want up to the remaining limit of your True Money account.

@Roee *******

it sounds like you are confusing visa terms. You likely got a free 60 visa exempt entry where you just showed your passport and didn't buy a visa in advance. This is not a tourist visa, which is when you apply and pay for a 60 day tourist visa in advance of travel.

@Gürbüz ********

You are incorrect about 360 days a year. You're confusing the fact that if you DON'T leave the country after 180 days, you can extend the visa once for another 180 days, giving you 360 days total before you must leave and come back to reactivate another 180 days. But anytime you leave, you get a new 180 day stamp upon entry. Leave on day 1, day 10, day 100, day 179, it makes no difference. Your new stamp starts another 180 day count (+ can be extended once for 180 more days). You just can't extend more than one time per entry, so after 360 days, you must leave and come back.

And exactly how does your country (and most countries) handle visa free entries? Thailand is actually less restrictive on re-entries than many countries worldwide.

Do you get a physical card with this?

Definitely not necessary for it to be in baht. Think about it, if someone is applying for a visa to come to Thailand, why would they already have Thai baht in an account? Sure, some might, but many people applying will have never even been to Thailand before.
