Thailand Smart Visa

The premier visa for highly-skilled professionals, investors, executives, and startup entrepreneurs in targeted industries.

What is the Thailand Smart Visa?

The Smart Visa is a special long-term visa introduced by the Thai government to attract and retain foreign talent, investors, and entrepreneurs in the country's targeted "S-Curve" industries. It offers significantly more privileges than standard visas, making it the most desirable option for qualified individuals.

Key benefits include a maximum 4-year visa duration, exemption from the need for a work permit, and reporting to immigration annually instead of every 90 days. Spouses and children of Smart Visa holders are also granted extended permission to stay. The application process is rigorous and requires an endorsement from a designated government agency, a process our team is expert in managing.
