Play
The Thai government is to offer Start-up Camp visas to foreign IT and tech experts, according to PM Office Minister Kobsak Pootrakool.
Areas affected include Phuket, Chiang Mai, Bangkok and the Eastern Economic Corridor.
The government will also revamp the tax law to encourage start-ups to stay here instead of later moving to low-tax regime countries such as Singapore.
Kobsak also told an MIT/GSW-Sasin forum that there would be a new package of regulations to encourage regional R&D work by multinational companies.
