TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai Elite Visa is primarily a long-term tourist visa that provides several benefits, such as convenience and privilege access to services, but specifically prohibits any form of work. Holders cannot engage in business activities or operate a company without obtaining the appropriate work permit.

The Thai Elite Visa is based on a tourist visa and therefor Employment Prohibited. For the rest as the link is provided, visit their website and you can ask any question direct to the persons of this visa at their multi lingual hep desk. Good luck.
