How can I apply for the Thailand Elite Visa and what are the recent experiences since the extension to 5 years?
Has anyone obtained the elite visa recently (since the extension from 3 to 5 years)? Curious if you used a service, thanks.
Answer summary
The discussion centers around the Thailand Elite Visa, especially following the extension from a previous duration to 5 years. Participants clarify that the Elite Visa has never been 3 years in duration. Key mentions include recent successful applications by individuals and the use of services like Henley & Partners for a smooth process. Additionally, there are references to resources such as the official Thailand Elite website and community groups for insight on experiences and assistance regarding the visa.

Got it in April-May last year. Accidentally went through something called "Star Visa". They were absolutely great (sorted my tm30 woes for one highlight.) And didn't cost anything extra.
Feel free to reply or DM for more info or questions.
