WHAT IS THE ELITE VISA?
Thanks to strict sanitary measures imposed by the government, Thailand was able to effectively manage the COVID-19 crisis in the 1st half of 2020.
In fact, Thailand is already planning to reopen its borders as smoothly as possible in the near future.
We’d like to introduce you to a way of entering Thailand without any special formalities: the Elite Visa.
Holders of this Visa enjoy a number of exclusive privileges, particularly suited to people who want to visit Thailand on a regular basis.
This government program, in existence since 2003, offers :
- Long-term visas from 5 to 20 years, with many privileges for foreigners living or traveling regularly in Thailand.
- With a duration of 5 years and renewable 3 times up to 20 years without having to leave the country, this multiple-entry visa (allowing you to come and go as you please in Thailand) has been designed to make the holder’s administrative obligations as easy as possible.
ELITE VISA PRIVILEGES
The government company Thailand Elite grants many VIP privileges to holders of this visa:
-
- Expedited visa and immigration processing.
- Airport services: private lounge, priority queuing, welcome and accompaniment by Thailand’s elite hosts.
- Free limousine service (available 24 times a year).
- Benefits and discounted prices at numerous high-end establishments throughout Thailand (golf courses, spas, restaurants, luxury stores, etc.).
- Complete annual medical check-up, etc.
- Thaïlande élite also offers a 24/7 telephone service to help you with all your administrative formalities (driver’s license, opening a bank account, etc.).
WHO IS THE ELITE VISA FOR?
This program offers a solution for those wishing to reside in Thailand without having to work (B visa) or study (ED visa), as retirement visas (OA visa) are reserved for those over 50 and require more administrative effort anyway.
Offering a wide range of formulas, starting at THB 500,000 for 5 years (THB 1,000,000 for 10 years and THB 2,000,000 for 20 years), the elite visa is particularly interesting for retirement in Thailand or for regular visits for tourism or business.
Some formulas can be extended to the family; others can put visa holders in touch with various administrative contacts.
