What is the Thailand SMART Visa?
The Thailand SMART Visa is a special visa designed for foreign experts, executives, startup founders, and investors in targeted industries such as technology, digital innovation, and R&D. It offers visa validity of up to four years, work permit exemption, and freedom from 90-day reporting requirements.
SMART Visa Categories in Thailand
The SMART Visa is divided into five main categories to suit different applicant profiles:
- SMART T (Talent): For highly skilled professionals working in advanced technologies or R&D roles. Requires an employment contract with a qualified Thai company and a minimum salary.
- SMART I (Investor): For individuals investing in technology-based Thai companies. Requires a minimum investment amount.
- SMART E (Executive): For senior executives in key industries. Applicants must meet experience and income qualifications.
- SMART S (Startup): For entrepreneurs aiming to launch technology-based startups in Thailand. Requires a solid business plan and initial funding.
- SMART O (Other): For dependents (spouses and children) of SMART Visa holders, enabling them to stay and work in Thailand.
Eligibility and Requirements
Each Thailand SMART Visa category has specific requirements. General criteria include:
- Employment Contract: For SMART T, E, and some S categories, a valid contract with a company in a targeted industry is required.
- Minimum Investment: Required for SMART I applicants.
- Startup Business Plan: SMART S applicants must submit a viable business plan aligned with innovation-driven sectors.
