Notes
Issuance in Thailand is THB 50,000 a person, including each dependent. Collection at a mission or by e-visa can cost more. Health cover must be at least USD 50,000 for medical treatment in Thailand with 10 months remaining, or Thai social security, or a USD 100,000 deposit held for 12 months. Dependents need the same cover or an extra USD 25,000 deposit each. A digital work permit is a separate application for work with a Thai entity, THB 3,000 a year, and is not issued for this visa by itself. Address reporting is yearly. The investment and the insurance must be kept for the whole visa. BOI Announcement Por. 3/2568 includes a spouse, parents and children under 20. The application site still says a maximum of four dependents, limited to a spouse and children under 20. Same-sex spouses are accepted on that site. Partnerships are not.
