TLDR : Answer Summary

The approval process for the Thai Elite Visa generally takes between 2 to 3 months, according to several commenters. However, individual experiences vary, with some reporting approval times as short as 2 weeks, depending on factors such as nationality. Background checks are conducted, which may contribute to the duration.

I just got mine a few months ago. I believe times is based on your nationality. I from US. I think took about 3 or 4 weeks to be approved. Then they took about 1 week to confirm payment (credit card), then to change in country about 2 weeks for an appointment.

Up to 3 months I believe. They do fairly rigorous background checks.
