Employer-sponsored work visa for skilled experts in BOI-promoted investment projects, initially 90 days but extendable to one year.
Thailand's Non-Immigrant Visa Category IB supports the Board of Investment by enabling employment of specialists in BOI-approved projects, bypassing standard labor market tests. Applicants require a Bachelor's degree, five years' professional experience, and 600,000 THB annual income. Sectors include automotive, electronics, and renewable energy.
The visa grants 90 days initial entry, extendable to one year with a work permit from the Department of Employment (obtained within 90 days of arrival). Multiple-entry costs 5,000 THB; single-entry 2,000 THB. Employer acts as petitioner. Dependents are allowed; spouses cannot work. Visa status terminates if the applicant leaves the sponsoring company.
This visa is ideal for highly skilled professionals whose expertise is essential to BOI-promoted ventures in capital-intensive industries like engineering, project management, and technical consulting.
