Phuket Law: Pay and stay, through the Investment Visa
Olaf Duensing

1442575573_1-org.jpg

The Investment Visa offers an alternative to the other forms of visas, and the rights to stay they provide.

Before the summer of 2014, many foreigners in Thailand who did not qualify for a long-term visa would achieve the same by entering, exiting, and re-entering Thailand on a short-term tourist visa. Thailand’s 2014 post-coup military government ended this practice.
