I arrived in Phuket sandbox on 5 October 2021 from London with a visa on arrival which I will switch to Elite. I can only echo all the positive comments below about this service. It all began with a video call in late July and every step of the way Hailey and Sammie took care of all the application process from start to finish. I am truly glad I used this service and would recommend to anybody planning to visit Thailand at the moment. I particularly liked the way I was kept up to date with the frequent changes to covid rules so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you Hailey and Sammie.

In January, the Easy Access is being raised to $19,850. If someone going to stay in Thailand longer than 15yrs, might as well get the 20yr visa. The new Easy Access price for 3 yrs is going to be $59,550. While the 20yr visa is only $33,000. Cheaper in the long run, to just go ahead and get the 20yr visa, if you're going to be in Thailand longer than 15yrs.

Thanks for your input cjack. Yes the price will be raised. In order to get the current price of 500,000THB (approximately $16,600) you must submit an application before December 31, 2020. I agree, the 20 year Superiority Extension definitely pays off for anyone living in Thailand longer than 10 years!

Hailey made it easy for me to get the thai elite visa. She filled out all the forms for me, walked me through the whole process -- and the process is not so easy in our current covid age (you're going to want an assistant to help with the myriad things the government asks of you). With Hailey I could just have her handle all of it -- and she can do your quarterly reportings too. So I think if you want a visa in today's world and planning to come to Thailand she's a very good choice. And she's also just very nice, like you see in the videos here.

This is great information. I really do think the 20 year Elite Superiority Extension is a great deal, considering that the 10 year O-X retirement visa requires something like 3 million baht in the bank or 1.8 million in bank plus 1.2 million in yearly income (along with a multitude of other requirements and the hassles of reporting 90 days, extensions, etc.). The one thing I was wondering about was being able to work in Thailand on the Elite visa. At time 13:29, it mentions that as long as you are not physically working in Thailand, you can work online. I think this is one of those grey areas and not something I am too sure about, though I believe there's currently nothing in Thai law that prohibits online work.

Do you have to get a police report from your country and send in with the application? Is it a background check of only your record in Thailand? I've heard if you've overstayed a visa that it disqualifies you. This part is confusing and I don't have a clear answer. This is an expensive visa and I would like as much information as possible before pulling the trigger.

@asterisk911

It's definitely a possibility, but unless there's some kind of weird Khmer Rouge style revolution I would be willing to bet they'll grandfather in current holders. It's not just that taking away what people have already paid for is really bad for Thailand's tourism brand, but these aren't permanent residences, and they all have expiration dates. If Thailand really decides they don't want all these foreigners around, it would be easy to just end the program for new applicants and let the existing memberships just expire. The number who have 20-year memberships is quite small; more than half issued are 5-year memberships, and the total number of members isn't even that high. Plus the holders are people who spend money in Thailand, and the trend in recent years has been to try to stamp out "Zero Baht tourism", i.e., those who spend hardly any money.

It is called an elite visa because only the elite can afford it. If I got the twenty-year visa I might die before the end of it. I will retire to the Philippines much cheaper and I can go visit Thailand for say three months then return to the Philippines or some other local country and then get a visa on return. It would not be a hardship as I intend touring SE Asia. Thank you for your video full of information and this has made me decide on the route I will be taking and it won't cost $30,000.

Yes, every Immigration office and every officer handle visa requirements differently. Unfortunately with other visa types that have many requirements, many times people have to go back to Immigration multiple times if they don't have the correct paperwork.

Depending on your city, Elite can file the 90 day report for you (in Chiang Mai we will pick up and drop off your passport so you don't need to do a thing). Alternatively you can submit online, by mail, or in person at your local Immigration office.

Excellent presentation. I have 1 question about applicants with more than one passport: can they apply for the Thai elite visa using their country of birth passport rather than the passport of their country of current residence? Both passports are North American passports.

Can you update this video with the recent Thailand visa rules and their impact on those foreigners in Thailand under the old OA and O visa rules? Are those old OA and O visa rules grandfathered in, or must those foreigners abide by the new Thailand visa rules?

Hi Yanni! Yes I plan to make an updated video about Elite membership. The financial requirement of 800K THB remains for the Non O and Non OA visas, and medical insurance may be required for the Non O visa now as well, depending on where you acquire your Non O visa. Non O and Non OA requirements do not affect Elite membership. The requirements and eligibility for Elite remain the same, but the packages and process to get the visa sticker in your passport have changed. I will make a video about this for you very soon Yanni :)

Sawasdee ja Khun Haley. Excellent job with the presentation in this vid and with pre-emptive information anticipating the more common line of questioning most people might have. I have a question : I am a consultant by profession. (I give guidance - mostly intangibles, specifically technical knowhow - which can be done by simple face to face meetings for which I will not be rendering any billings from within Thailand for such meetings. Would this then be construed as "work" as defined under the Thai Elite visa?

Thanks for sharing the Elite information here. Very concise. One question on the Elite Easy Access. The last item in the column is a 1.5 million baht with Vat included. Only this Elite category has such. What is this?
@ThailandEliteSpecialist
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Kong John. That is to upgrade to the 20 year visa for 1.5m thb (excluding VAT). At the time when this video was made in 2020, the Elite Easy Access package could only upgrade to the Ultimate Privilege package (20 years, 2 million baht). This has changed as of January 1, 2021 🙂 Please see the updated information: The Easy Access package has been increased from 500,000 to 600,000 thb and you now have the ability to upgrade to the Superiority Extension (20 years, 1m thb) for just 400,000 thb more.

I am definitely thinking hard about getting a 20 yr visa in the next few years and I would definitely use your company. There is a lot of positive below that gives me assurances that this is a good company to help and assist the application process. Though just to be clear, even if you get a 20 yr visa, you must leave the country at least once a year or obtain an extension to stay 2 years but thereafter, you will still need to leave the country once a year? is that correct?
@ThailandEliteSpecialist

Thanks Kin! We'd be happy to help you when you're ready to move forward. I'm about to post a video you should checkout regarding future changes. And to answer your question, yes that is some-what correct, but you can get an extension in Thailand every year for all 20 years if you have no plans to leave. If you leave Thailand you will automatically receive a new 1 year stamp beginning the date you return to Thailand.
