Thai Elite Visa Application Process
- Start your Application
For those interested in applying for the Thailand Elite Program our team will need to obtain the following:- A copy of every page in your current passport – please note your passport must have at least 1 year of validity remaining and at least 6 blank pages left in your passport.
- 2x Passport photos (Scanned and uploaded online sent via email).
- Which Thailand Elite Membership (Visa) you are applying for.
We complete the rest of the application for you, as well as lodge a background check to confirm your eligibility for the program.
*No pre-payment or fees are required for this application.
- Approval of Application
Depending on your nationality, your Thailand Elite visa can take between 30 to 90 days at the Thailand Immigration Bureau. Once approved by the Immigration Bureau, the Thailand Elite will issue you an Approval Letter with banking details to pay for your visa. - Payment of Membership
Once the Thailand Elite has received your payment in full, you will be issued an Elite Membership Number and a Welcome Letter, which means that your visa is ready to be affixed in your passport and your visa is fully approved. - Affixing the Thailand Elite Visa in your Passport
To affix the visa in your passport, you will have two options: - If you’re in Thailand: Your visa can be affixed at the Immigration Bureau in Bangkok. Thai Elite Member Services will arrange an appointment for you and assist you throughout the entire process. You will need to spend about 1 hour at the Immigration Office, depending on the day.
- If you are overseas: you are able to request the visa affixation at the Royal Thai Embassy or the Royal Thai Consulate-General. In some specific areas/countries members are required to recheck with the Royal Thai Embassy or the Royal Thai Consulate-General in your area about visa affix service due to the Ministry of Foreign Affair policy.
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?
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.
