Selling my Permanent Visa from EliteCard

[RedJam]

This is a Tier 1 visa. It is lifetime, and with unlimited transfers/sales between people. Theoretically this means it will never expire.

Benefits from this visa:

1 free massage per day everyday in the best spas across Thailand. No limits. Can be used everyday of the year, forever.

Free Golf fees across the best courses in Thailand.

Free airport limo pickup & dropoff to/from condo/ hotel + VIP service at airport (no limits per year)

- 1 Free annual health checkup per year at Bumungrad Hospital

 

my asking price is $6M, If you are interested please contact me, and note that any transfer will be done through the official Thailand Elite office for legal and safety reasons

How much (time) transfers across to the other Party ?

Also I believe Thai Elite take 10% of the prevailing rate upon transfer.

 

Mine is a Lifetime Membership (same perks)... But only 30 years transfers across.

I know some earlier cards transfer lifetime across in which case yours is an excellent deal.

 

The Problem is, a lot of members on here who may not have the money, don't see the value. 

... those who may will try and lowball you.

 

I've rejected 2MB a few times when trying to sell mine - its worth more to me than that.

 

Best of luck in getting a genuine offer.

[RedJam]

It’s unlimited, could be transferred infinitely.

Price has been reduced.  OP was asking 8M THB on reddit.

[saakura]

Does it really cost $6m as indicated, and is it USA dollars? Sounds far too much money.

Certainly 6 Million Thai Baht would be closer to a realistic price.

 

The equivalent of what the Op Carries is the Thai Elite Reserve priced at 5 Million Baht and is available by invitation only. 

- Membership is only 20 years.

- Only remaining years can be transfered over.

 

 

[RedJam]

Sorry I didn’t make it clear, it’s $6m baht

Yes and you could also do it online

Yeah I do 90 day reporting... it is not an extension.

Ralf is correct..

 

If you have the 5 year SE Visa thats renewed every 5 years for the rest of your life, then each 'entry' give you 90 days... You need to actually return to Immigration in person and get another 90 day extension.

- This is one of (ok the one) flaw of the original memberships.

 

Later memberships (i.e. 5 years) gave a 1 year visa which a member would need to renew every year...  And obviously do the 90 day reports (online).

I have the LTR Visa already with airport FastTrack access and unlimited reentry permit. My taxis to/from Chiang Mai airport cost me 100 baht.

 

Since I do not golf or need to pay for massages, this is worth no more than 10,000 baht.

 

Anyone want to offer him 1 more baht? 

 

Seriously, just because you paid a lot for this does not mean it has much value to most expats.

Agree.

PE visa previously an option for some expats.

For folk such as yourself with LTR etc that was a deal breaker.

If the DTV holds up in future then why would anyone bother.

Even guys such as myself doing annual extension retirement with 800k locked up are still in shock of DTV requirements (lack of)

Santa Claus came unexpectedly. 

[advancebooking]

Who in their right mind is going to pay that sort of money for a visa. Its so easy to get a retirement visa. 

 

Its like the guys who buy a condo in bkk or pattaya and realise what a mistake bc they change their mind 3 yrs later and want to go and live elsewhere. Then impossible to sell the condo bc its overpriced high supply and lack of demand. Good luck selling it though!

I now have a free life time Visa....    because I've already used so much Golf, Massage, AOT Transfers, airport fast tracks, and health checkups....

Nope... its not like that at all.. Its like that to you. 

 

To those truly interested, its not just about the Visa, but the perks that come with membership to.

 

I don't have to ever prepare a load of Paperwork to submit for my Marriage or Retirement extension.... I simply go to Immigration, give them a card, sing something an its done.

 

The annoyance of course is the frequency which which I have do do this (theoretically 4x per year) though in over 15 years of TE membership I've only had to do this twice as I travel so much.

Agreed... Its of no value to you and a number of other foreigners here..... Neither is an Aston Martin, a BMW or even a Ford Ranger.....

You can argue you are fine getting around in TukTuks and Taxis... or even a Fino....

 

Recognise that you are part of a full spectrum of beings here, each with different requirements, needs and exceptions.

I didn’t quote 8M, someone offered me 8m and I was looking for an higher bid, but he found a cheaper seller for 7m.

Is yours different from mine or are ours the same?

I'm sure mines bigger....  

 

... 

 

Seriously though, on the similarly of membership, I'm not sure... 

 

I know that 30 years transfers on when I transfer mine.

I know that another poster selling his Lifetime Membership Last year had it confirmed by Thai Elite that 'Life Time membership' passed along... 

 

So... it depends on the contract you have with TPE...  The only way to get a firm answer is to e-mail them.

Great for golfers and massage fans. The OP should promote it on a golfing forum.

For a non golfer, non massage person it's worth 500,000 perhaps.

Im on the yearly marriage ext of stay. The docs are not so bad. I delegate one of my staff to do most of it. Its the same every year and quite quick process. 

 

Im now in the citizenship process which cost me 5000 baht. In a few yrs I will have a thai passport. 

 

You can have all the free massages you want. Im ok to pay 400 an hour. I dont play golf. Therefore I would never pay 6mill baht for a stamp and still be forced to go to immigration 4x a year. 

[ukrules]

I just extended my existing membership to the 20 year option, when I signed up there were 5 year and 20 year options.

In the end I decided to stay longer term so got another 5 year and then the extra 15 years - total 1.5 million Baht.

The lifetime option had long gone by the time I came along and I had not heard of it until the 5 year option came along.

Still I'm all set until 2040 which will do me and it is very flexible especially if you do even a little bit of travel each year - even if you leave the country just once per year with the 1 year stamps you never need to extend in country but of course you still need to do the 90 day reports if you're in country more than 90 days. If you only stay for around 90 days then you don't even need to bother with them.

Right now I'm traveling every 3 months so no need - just arrive and leave - never an issue.
