Iingxelo ezivela kwimithombo esemthethweni yaseThai kunye neBloomberg zibonisa ukuba malunga ne-400 yezicelo okanye amazwi omdla afunyenweyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kwi-10-year entsha. LTR (iNdawo yokuHlala ixesha elide) ii-visa. Ezona zicelo ziphathwa yiBhodi yoTyalo-mali (BOI), nangona amagosa engekaphawuli esidlangalaleni. Upapasho lwangaphambili lubonise ukuba imibuzo inokwenziwa kwiofisi yabaphambukeli okanye kuzakuzo waseThai phesheya, kodwa ingxelo ibinqabile. Umnxeba kumnxeba wokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe wacacisa ukuba imibuzo “isasaziwe.”
Phantse isiqingatha sezicelo ukususela ekusungulweni kwe-1 Septemba zivela e-United States, e-China nase-UK kunye nabadla umhlala-phantsi liqela eliphambili. Ngaphandle kokuba baneminyaka engama-50 ubuncinane, inkqubo yesicelo icacile ngaphandle kokuba banokubonisa umvuzo oqhelekileyo ubuncinane we-80,000 ye-baht (amawaka amabini eeponti) ngenyanga. Ezinye zeenzuzo zabelwana nge-visa ye-Elite, ethandwa ngabantu abadla umhlala-phantsi, kubandakanywa nokukhawuleza kwizikhululo zeenqwelo-moya. Kodwa kuphela i-LTR enokubonelela ngenkululeko kwiintsuku ze-90 zokungena kunye nemvume yokusebenza yedijithali, ucinga ukuba le yokugqibela iyafuneka kweli qela.
IBhodi yoTyalo-mali ibisoloko icinga ukuba iingcali ezisebenzayo ziya kuba liqela ekujoliswe kulo.
Eyona nto inomtsalane ziinzuzo zerhafu kwingqesho eThailand - umgangatho we-17 ekhulwini oxhamla kwiiflaya eziphezulu - ukukhululwa kwirhafu kuninzi lwamazwe aphesheya kunye nokupheliswa komgaqo wemvume yokusebenza endala efuna umlinganiselo wabasebenzi abane baseThailand kumntu omnye oqeqeshwe kakhulu. Nangona kunjalo, ubuncinci be-1,600 abantu basemzini sele bebhalisile kwi-visa ye-Smart yeminyaka emine, eyaziswa ngo-2018, engafuneki nemvume yokusebenza.
I-digital nomads okanye abasebenzi abakude lelinye iqela ekujoliswe kulo, kodwa i-LTR ifuna ukuba babe nezivumelwano ezibhaliweyo nabaqeshi apho abaninzi abazimeleyo abangenalo, okanye abayifunayo. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba uninzi lwee-nomads ziya kuqhubeka nokuthembela kwii-visa zabakhenkethi zaseThailand, ngaphandle kokuba i-ofisi yokufudukela kwelinye ilizwe itshintsha umgaqo-nkqubo wayo wokuyeka, okanye baya kukhetha amazwe anemiqobo embalwa yolawulo kunye neenzuzo ezithe kratya ezinje ngepaspoti yesibini okanye inkululeko kwiirhafu. Iqela lokugqibela ngabemi behlabathi abazizityebi, inzala engaqondakaliyo, abo abaphathi baseThai bababona njengabathengi bexabiso eliphezulu kunye nabatyali-mali.
I-LTR ngokuqinisekileyo ibonelela ngezinto eziluncedo ezingafumanekiyo kolunye ukhetho lwe-visa. Umba ngowokuba ingaba baninzi ngokwaneleyo na ukuba babhalise abasisigidi abalindelweyo. Xa i-visa ye-Elite yaqala ngo-2003, umtsalane ibango layo ekuqaleni yayikuvumela ubunini bepropati enye ye-rai freehold, ingcamango ekhutshwe ngokukhawuleza kwaye yachithwa. Amabango afanayo enziwa ekuqaleni kwi-LTR, kodwa oku kuthintelwe kubantu bangaphandle abatyala imali ye-baht yezigidi ezingama-40 ubuncinci beminyaka emithathu. Inokuba ngu-2026 ngaphambi kokuba ababhalisi bokuqala bafumane ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba yintoni abanokuyenza ngokwenene.
Urhulumente uthe unethemba lokuba imilinganiselo yakhe yamva nje yokukhuthaza utyalo-mali, kubandakanya ne-visa yokuhlala ixesha elide esungulwe kule nyanga, iya kutsala abatyali mali bamanye amazwe kamva kulo nyaka. Izicelo zotyalo-mali zizonke kulindeleke ukuba zehle nge-22% ukuya kwi-500 yeebhiliyoni ze-baht (i-US $ 13.76 yezigidigidi) kulo nyaka emva kokudodobala kwesiqingatha sokuqala.
I-Thailand iye yakhuthaza amacandelo e-high-tech kunye nokuxhasa izithuthi zombane ukugcina isimo sayo njengesiseko sokuvelisa i-auto yengingqi. Ngokutsho kweBhodi yoTyalo-mali (i-BOI), izithembiso zotyalo-mali zaseThailand kunye namazwe angaphandle kwixesha likaJanuwari-Juni zehla nge-42% ukuya malunga ne-220 yebhiliyoni ye-baht, ngenxa yeprojekthi enkulu yeplanti yamandla kunyaka ophelileyo.
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- The key attractions are tax benefits from employment in Thailand – a standard 17 percent which benefits high flyers – tax exemption from most overseas income and abolition of the old work permit rule which required a ratio of four Thai workers for one highly qualified foreigner.
- It is likely that many nomads will continue to rely on Thai tourist visas, unless the immigration bureau changes its stand-off policy, or they will choose countries with fewer bureaucratic hurdles and more concrete advantages such as a second passport or freedom from taxes.
- According to the Board of Investment (BOI), Thai and foreign investment pledges in the January-June period slumped 42% to about 220 billion baht, due mainly to a large power plant project last year.
