What Visa Can I Get?

[tt61]

Hi all,

I plan to buy a condo and live more or less permanently in Thailand. I am self-employed and do all my business on the Internet. My question is whether it would be possible to obtain a non-immigrant multiple entry visa (one year). I have a dilemma. Even though I work I do not receive any salary in Thailand, nor do I occupy a job in Thailand. Could my type of work be considered "no work", i.e. tourism?

I am 43 years old and I suppose I am not eligible for a "retirement" visa. I can, however, prove I have sufficient funds to support myself (bank statements and through my business).

What would you recommend to the best approach for me in applying for a visa? I am a Swedish citizen.

Thanks in advance, TT

Try searching on Investment Visa.

There are opportunities if you have the money.

Thanks for the reply. What is required to obtain an investment visa and what length of stay could I be looking at?

If I invest (deposit) X k baht in a Thai bank can that money be used or does it have to stay in the bank?

Does a purchased condo count as investment?

Thanks, Tony
