338den Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Extension of stay based on the investment. Requirements: 3 million baht since 2020? Recently googled information about the extension of stay based on investments and found that now is a 3 million baht requirement (condo, bonds, or deposit). Seems it changed from 10 million in 2020. Sources: 1) Thai Embassy in Vienna https://www.thaiembassy.at/en/type-of-visa/non-immigrant-visa-b-business-and-work.html 2) Thai Embassy in Singapore https://www.thaiembassy.sg/visa-matters-/-consular/types-of-visa/non-immigrant-visa-b-business 3) Thai Embassy in Warsaw https://warsaw.thaiembassy.org/en/page/non-immigrant-visa-b?menu=60f0548f910db13e765640e2 4) Thai Embassy in Canberra https://canberra.thaiembassy.org/non-immigrant-visa-category-b-non-b/ Also, I found different info on the website of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand If investing not less than 2 million Baht, he or she will be granted a 1 year permit. If investing not less than 10 million Baht, he or she will be granted a 2 year permit.

ubonjoe Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Are you look at this one on the MFA website. 2.3 Non-Immigrant Visa Category “IB” (Investment and Business Visa) is issued to foreign citizens employed to work on investment projects which are under the auspices of the Board of Investment of Thailand (BOI). Such projects must be involved in or bring benefit to Thailand in the following ways: That is not the same non-b needed for a investment extension at immigration under the police order for extensions of stay that still requires a 10 million baht investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the websites of 4 embassies written about Non-B visas and extensions with 3 mil baht requirment (condo, bonds, or deposit). From MFA website: 4.2 Foreigners who are eligible to apply for visa extension and work permits at the One Stop Service Centre are: Foreigner who is an investor. - If investing not less than 2 million Baht, he or she will be granted a 1 year permit. - If investing not less than 10 million Baht, he or she will be granted a 2 year permit.

That is not the same extension that is shown in clause 2.5 of immigration order 327/2557 for extensions of stay that can be applied for at any immigration office. 2.5 In the case of investment: Each permission shall be granted for no more than one year.
