BOI Thailand Incentives 2026: What's New for Tech Investors?

The Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) continues to aggressively attract high-value industries. The 2026 investment strategy doubles down on Electric Vehicles (EV), Digital Innovation, and BCG (Bio-Circular-Green) Economy.

Key Incentive Updates

1. Extended Tax Holidays for Upstream EV

Manufacturers of battery cells and key EV components can now enjoy up to 13 years of Corporate Income Tax (CIT) exemption, up from the standard 8 years. This signals Thailand's commitment to becoming the EV hub of Asia.

2. Digital Nomad & Talent LTR Visa Integration

Companies approved under digital categories can now automatically fast-track Long-Term Resident (LTR) visas for their foreign specialists, bypassing the standard 4:1 Thai-to-Foreign employee ratio.

3. Relocation Package

For companies moving production bases to Thailand, the BOI offers additional merit-based incentives if the move includes setting up regional headquarters or R&D centers.

Eligibility isn't just about your industry; it's about your value-add. The BOI looks for:
