🇹🇭 Thailand · Startup Visa

Entrepreneur and startup visa programs, investment thresholds, and application criteria.

Thailand's route for founders and skilled talent is the SMART Visa, including a startup ("S") category for entrepreneurs in targeted industries, endorsed via the Board of Investment (BOI). It offers a longer stay and eased work-permit conditions for qualifying applicants. Larger investors and high-earning professionals may instead use the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa.
