do you have the elite visa affixed on your passport? or new member?  14- 30 day for approval? or flights 30 days out?

Don't be so harsh. As you have noticed Thailand have tried to weigh pros and cons and everyone is affected by the back and forth considerations, Thailand Elite included. Even if it takes time and not everything is crystal clear, their members are on standby, opposite to many other categories who deem that they have the same, if not better, right to be included. The latest members will be at the end of the queue, for sure, but at least there is a queue, even though, if by the time they reach the kingdom, borders will be (more) open. 

Im not being harsh, Im speaking facts, I paid over 30,000 use to enter Thailand, once approved and money was exchanged, I should have been allowed to enter the country, the rules changed in August, only allowing members with affixed visa, that was not what in my terms when I paid. Thanks

I believe the elite visa is a scam, its not even a priority now, maybe before the pandemic it worked, but now, its a scam. I now I don't think any elite visa holders had entered thailand which is crazy, and now this new special visa is the priority.  If you outside the country, don't pay for a elite visa at this time. 

Has anyone in the USA, applied and been accepted for Thailand Elite Members Quarantine (TEMQ) Program? Has anyone used this program been issued a COE? If so please advise. Its been almost a month now? Has anyone had their visa affix in the USA?

I have received no word from Thai-elite that new members can enter yet, seems like all the focus on the special visa. The elite visa is useless if you are outside the country.

is there a 250 a month quota for elite visa holders? if true, that crazy with the amount of money that was spent to secure that visa, i have the visa but not affix yet, so this is ridiculous to me, Im beginning to look at other options,

Mexico,, Columbia, the Caribbean , i had enough of this back and forth daily nonsense of opening Thailand.

I was advised even if you get the visa from abroad, which is not possible, Thai Elite Visa stated they are not allowing new members in regardless,  so below  is the direct quote, so for now new members, this visa is useless if you are outside Thailand, I recommend applying for the visa, but do not pay!

"However, we would like to inform you about the priority of this TEMQ program. According to the proposal that we have presented to the government, we must first bring back our members who have been stuck outside of Thailand since the outbreak of the pandemic. Therefore, new members who have not had Thailand Elite Visa affixed in the passport yet will need to be put on hold for further allowance. However, our management team is doing their best to bring back all of our members regardless of Elite visa possession."

back to original question,  Has anyone in the USA, applied and been accepted for Thailand Elite Members Quarantine (TEMQ) Program? Has anyone used this program been issued a COE? If so please advise. Please stay on topic in reference to this specific question.

"Greetings from Thailand Elite Member Contact Center"
 

In response to your email, we are deeply sorry to inform you that Thailand Elite Members who are now allowed to come back to Thailand are those who already affixed Thailand Elite Visa in the passport. 

I don't see any reason to buy the Elite Visa now, I hope I can get a refund, I paid back in June and still can't enter.

Im in TEXAS, are they any specific places with names? I can look into.

I have a elite visa, hopefully I will be able to travel to Thailand soon. For USA visa holder who has entered Thailand during the Pandemic, how and where do you get;

A Medical certificate with a laboratory result indicating that COVID -19 is not detected, using RT-PCR test, issued no more than 72 hours before departure and a ‘Fit to Fly Health Certificate’ issued no more than 72 hours before departure.

Where in the USA can you obtain these documents? any information will be helpful. Thanks
