reader Posted Monday at 09:46 AM Posted Monday at 09:46 AM From The Thaiger Thailand is making moves to woo foreign investors and expats, rolling out a brand-new one-stop shop for investment and visa services in the heart of Bangkok. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra cut the ribbon on Monday at the grand opening of the Thailand Investment and Expat Services Centre (TIESC), housed in the sleek One Bangkok building in Pathum Wan. Located on the corner of Witthayu and Rama IV roads, right next to Lumpini Park, the centre is set to streamline bureaucracy and fast-track investment, visa, and work permit processes. Spanning the 6th and 7th floors of the Parade Zone, TIESC is a joint effort by the Board of Investment, the Immigration Bureau, and the Department of Employment. The goal? To make Thailand an even hotter destination for international investors and long-term expats. The 38 year old prime minister highlighted Thailand’s economic transformation, pointing out that last year’s 3,100 investment applications, worth a staggering 1.1 trillion baht, reflected growing global confidence in the country. The new centre arrives as Thailand shakes up its visa policies to attract more tourists and long-term residents, Bangkok Post reported. https://thethaiger.com/guides/visa-information/thai-me-down-bangkok-opens-new-visa-expat-and-investor-hub Quote
