Hi,

 

Just bumbed into the article below, seems like a new visa has miraculously popped up yesterday:

I checked with Visa authorities (Smart Visa team) and they gave me the info below:

 

There are 2 sub-categories for Work-From-Thailand Professional in LTR visa 1.Digital Nomad 2.Corporate Programme

- details about qualifications etc are still being finalised but:

-Qualifications - Have health insurance from an accredited insurance company covering medical expenses of $100,000 or more throughout the duration of the visa. - Personal income (salary, investment income, etc.) at least $80,000 per year for the past 2 years or $40,000 per year if graduated with a master's degree or higher / Possess Intellectual Property / Receive Series A funding.

 

Required proof/documents For Digital Nomad - Company listed on the stock exchange, or - A private company that has been operating for at least 3 years and has gross revenue of more than 150 million USD in the last 3 years. For Corporate Programme - Have experience working with any company with annual revenue > $1 billion

 

Hope this helps anyone.

 

Cheers
