JohnBZ Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I thought this visa is free once you prove your worth. Now it seems it costs about the same as retirement visa. What is the fanfare all about? is it really a special deal. With the way it is going, I don't see a million foreigners will sign up for this 10 year visa? Do you??

PoodThaiMaiDai Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 More than you would think. If I did not have my 20 Year Thailand Elite Visa I would do this. Many wealthy men do not want to be married (or married again). They also may have yellow fever. As a whole Thailand has a lot to offer that other countries do not. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in this day and age that's not a lot, Many over a life time of working have accumulated at least that amount and more. Any opportunity to negate some of the onerous visa process could be attractive to some. Edited January 30, 2022 by cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, everytime you hear about some new visa it always contains the most ridiculous conditions that only 0.001 percent of people can meet. And even when they do meet the criteria, they have much better options than Thailand. Thailand overestimates its own appeal and value to high value migrants and tourists all of the time. Always way off the mark. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the current climate, do you know if Elite membership expedites the Thai Pass process. Thinking everyone’s treated the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klonko Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Visa Elite: upon issuance of visa and upon entry into Thailand you get a one year stamp. If you do not leave the country, you have to get a new stamp after 12 months or you go into overstay. Elite visa holders have been "deported " for long overstays. if you have the Elite Superiority 20 year visa, you will get a visa affixed to your passport valid 5 years or, if earlier, until the expiration date of your passport. Therafter, you will get affixed the next 5 year visa. 90 day reporting is being taken care of by agents paid by Elite in Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya and Chiang Mai. For my purposes, the Elite Superority 20 year visa for THB 1 Mio. is better than the 10 year visa scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
