But I am feeling especially happy that, finally, you found peace, as well as the answer to your last question before to apply for the Elite card and join thousands of happy members enjoying their priceless visa

Why thank You. However I hope I don't have to join anytime soon, as my plan A is to stay on marriage extensions. However TE now has firmly crawled to plan B territory.

If we start speaking about the dangers of Love and marriage, it is safer to have a plan B, indeed

Thanks Stanley78 and everyone else who has posted in this thread. It is very helpful and informative.

I have just one question, is there any restriction about the nationalities that are eligible for this program? Can an Indian passport holder apply? If I (Indian passport holder) am in Bangkok on a tourist visa, do I just fill out the form and pay the money without even leaving Thailand? This is amazing. I know many people here in India who would jump at such an offer.

There are no nationality restrictions.

There are no nationality restrictions.

Which adds to the fact that foreign criminals will be buying them. Not to mention illegal workers here, which is what the whole crack down was supposed to clean up.

Just a short term revenue raising exercise by Thai authorities, which they may regret, and therefore cancel, in the future.

I see what you mean... You're not a criminal, so you do not buy it.

Correct. Not a criminal, and not stupid.

Keep your insulting comments for yourself

@ Frank78

It's not an insulting comment.

You have weighed up the risk versus the reward of the product, as I have, and I don't see the reward greater than the risk, and cost of the product.

Each to their own.

Unlike many on this forum, it's no bother if I have to live outside of Thailand for some months of the year.

You implied people tht bought this card are either stupid or criminals. Nothing to add.

You implied people tht bought this card are either stupid or criminals. Nothing to add.

Well, I know of some foreigners, who are of the criminal element, who have bought the card.

I'm not saying everyone who has bought the card are criminals, but, let's be honest, it's a great product for foreign criminals to buy. They disappear in Thailand, for years, and may never face justice for their crimes in their home countries.

I'm sure the Russian Mafia will be snapping these cards up.

As far as the "stupid" comment, like I said, each to their own, but the visa crack down coming at the same time they are marketing the Elite Card, well, I can see through it, but good luck to you, if you have bought one.

I haven't bought one. I don't need one right now. And following the flow the thai government wants you too is everything but stupid. Actually it may be the smartest thing to do for people that are intend to stay, certainly the most honest way for people not eligible for anything else. Therefore, once again, really not stupid, unlike those hateful comments about a card some can afford. It's like criticizing people for buying an expensive car...

That's good. It works out to about 8 US dollars a day over 5 years. Beer or dog food money. Very tempting and a fantastic deal.

But what happens after the 5 years are up? Pay another 500k Baht?

I know that the application form has already been posted in the thread, but what else do you need to send them other than photocopies of passport and 500kTHB? Nothing else? No bank statement/degree/home country police certificate etc.?

"Beer or dog food money." - I'd rather spend it on "beer and dog food" than a dodgy scheme that probably will not last 5 years, just like the Thai Governments in the last decade did not last.

You need help with this sentence?

"Beer or dog food money." - I'd rather spend it on "beer and dog food" than a dodgy scheme that probably will not last 5 years, just like the Thai Governments in the last decade did not last.

But the people who got the card 5 years ago still have the visa don't they?

Yeah they do. Well not this one, but previous ones. They never stopped to work despite several governments and bad predictions from jealous people,

Well, you criticized my comprehension of your sentence, and I merely pointed out that you are not a native Englisg speaker, so you would do well to correct your sentence, before criticizing me, as I can only go on what you have posted.

Just like the 30 day visa runs have been stopped, what makes you think they will not/could not honour the Elite Card in the future????

It's a visa, not citizenship.

It can be revoked at anytime, and if so, what are you going to do, farang? Who are you going to complain to, The World Court? You've be screwed. Simple as that.

Yeah whatever. There is another thread about elite card bashing where you should go to call the people buying this card "stupid" again.

Because that is a 30 day visa vs this being a 5 year visa? Unless they canceled existing visas and kicked people out you haven't posed a remotely intelligent question. You aren't entitled to a visa run. This is different.

From what I understand one doesn't need to leave Thailand at all for 5 years with this. So there is no question of a visa run.

What Governmnet????

There is no democratically elected Governmnet running Thailand at the moment.

You should go to protest against that by yourself if you believe it´s so wrong.
