I'm interested in possibly going for the elite Visa, either for the 5-year or 10 year. Can someone tell me how much money they need to have to show as proof of funds when they apply?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thailand Elite Visa does not require applicants to provide proof of funds when applying. Instead, individuals simply pay for the visa after their application is approved. The Elite Visa is described as a purchase rather than a visa that involves proving financial stability. Additionally, there's a discussion about alternative options such as the Smart Visa, which allows the holder to work in Thailand.

Do you want to work for a company in Thailand? You'd save a crap tonne just getting a non B and and just extending it every year...

None. $0. Elite visas are for purchase. You just pay and buy one. Don't really need to prove any financials.

You don't ever have to prove funds for Thailand elite. You just have to pay for it after you're approved. I suppose that's proof of funds once it hits their bank account.

In a very Thai way, this is hilariously ironic, innit?
