Thailand is currently home to more than 56,000 foreign nationals who have been granted visas and work permits. Among them are approximately 50,000 foreign executives and experts who are contributing to investment promotion projects. This achievement is a direct outcome of Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s commitment to enhancing Thailand’s competitiveness and steering the country towards an innovative economic framework.
The government has implemented measures to facilitate visa applications of various types, resulting in over 56,000 foreign nationals receiving approved visas and work permits. These include visas and work permits for foreign experts working under investment promotion projects, Long-Term Resident Visas (LTR Visas), and Smart Visas aimed at attracting high-skilled personnel and investors in the country’s target industries through the One Stop Service Center.
The One Start One Stop Investment Center (OSOS) on the 18th floor of Chamchuri Square Building provides a one-stop service, including the online visa and work permit system SINGLE WINDOW, without the need to contact multiple authorities.
Thailand has attracted over 4,000 LTR visa holders from countries such as the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, China, Germany, Japan, and France, along with 2,170 smart visa holders and startup group members, mainly from the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany.
Furthermore, the government has introduced the Long-Term Resident Visa (LTR visa), which allows experts, remote workers, high net worth individuals, and retirees, including their dependents, to stay in Thailand for up to 10 years with unlimited entry and exit. They are also permitted to work and benefit from reduced income tax and relaxed reporting periods to the Immigration Department.
In addition, the Cabinet has introduced the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) for foreign nationals with skills to work remotely through digital systems. This visa aims to attract highly skilled foreigners to work in Thailand and is expected to be introduced in June.
Overall, the government is focused on continuously improving and adapting various policies to attract foreign labor and stimulate investment in modern, future, and targeted industries for the maximum benefit of Thailand.
