TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion focuses on the recent price increases for the Thailand Elite Visa program, which have raised concerns among potential expats and retirees. The new costs are outlined as follows: 5 years for 900,000 baht, 10 years for 1.5 million baht, 15 years for 2.5 million baht, and 20 years for 5 million baht. Community members express frustration regarding affordability and speculate on the implications of these increases for future visa options, including the possibility of future hikes for the retirement visa deposit.

obviously it’s time to think about LTR which is far more superior. With the elite/privilege you get stamped in for 1 year and need to do 90 day reporting. With LTR it’s a 5 year stamp and only 1 year reporting. And it cost me only 65.000 baht.

And you cannot just buy a 20yr visa under the new scheme.

I suspect the only thing they will achieve by messing around with the price is to destroy what little trust people had in that system anyway!

 no idea how they worked out the pricing. Normally the more you buy the cheaper it gets. The points are surely meant to be a bonus

5 years = 180,000 per annum

10 years = 150,000 per annum

15 years = 166,666 per annum

20 years = 250,000 per annum

Can't see the points being worth that difference
