Elite visa - is it for real. Do you know anyone who has used it? Any recommendations for a Chaing Mai visa service?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The Thailand Elite Visa is confirmed to be legitimate by multiple users, who recommend applying directly through the Thai Privilege agency rather than using a service, as they provide the necessary assistance without extra costs. Many share positive experiences and emphasize that if you meet the eligibility criteria listed on the official website, a visa service might not be necessary.

I almost went for it but decided i could better use the cash for other things at the time. Don't contact an agent as they'll charge you when part of the money you pay for the visa is covering the actual Thai Privilege people helping you get the visa.

Why wouldn’t it be real 😃

If you meet the requirements on the Thai visa site you don’t need a visa service - have you looked at the requirements

Why would you need a visa service if you want an elite visa? Go directly to the elite company. There's nothing an agent can offer you that isn't what you can get direct.
