Immigration Bureau revises visa rules for investment and family stay
The Immigration Bureau has issued Order No. 145/2569, repealing its October 2025 order and replacing the criteria and documents for visas and visa-type changes in two cases: investment, and being a family member of a foreigner permitted to stay temporarily under Section 34 of the Immigration Act. The new rules apply from 1 July 2026.
What this means for you
- Foreigners applying for visas or visa conversions on investment grounds, or as parents, spouses, children, adopted children or stepchildren of a foreigner allowed temporary stay, face revised criteria and document requirements.
- The new rules apply from 1 July 2026.
- Applicants should follow the revised criteria and supporting-document table attached to the new order, which replaces the October 2025 order.
