Is it worth it?

The value of the Elite Privilege Visa largely depends on the applicant’s personal and financial circumstances. Are you interested in 10 years or 15 year stay in Thailand? The Elite Platinum membership package comes with 10 years and the Elite Diamond membership package with 15 year stay.

For individuals frequently traveling to Thailand, the benefits provided can significantly outweigh the costs over time. The convenience, lifestyle perks, and exclusive services make for a comfortable and hassle-free living experience.

For families planning for a long stay in the Kingdom, the availability of Elite family packages simplifies the process for Elite family members to enjoy the same privileges, making it a convenient option for those relocating with dependents.

Expatriates planning on living in Thailand for an extended period can benefit from the long-term visa options, avoiding the hassle associated with standard visa renewals.

However, if you only plan to visit Thailand occasionally or for short durations, the high upfront cost might not justify the benefits received. It is crucial to carefully consider your travel and living plans and weigh the visa cost against the expected privileges and services.

  1. If I pay 600,000 baht for the 5 year visa but later decide I want the 20 year Thai Elite visa, can I pay the additional cost? Is that allowed?

    1. Dear Jim,
      Good day.
      Yes, you can upgrade your membership to 20 years Thai Elite membership and Thai Elite Visa. You only need to pay the remaining 1.4 million baht for the Thai Elite Privilege membership and visa or you may pay 400,000 Thai baht to upgrade to 20-year Thai Elite Superiority Extension.
      Thank you.
