What are the pros and cons of the Bronze Elite Visa in Thailand, and how does it compare to other visa options?

is the only one I take information 100% from. Almost everything else i take with a grain of salt.

thank you

@Amanda ********

they've dropped the 80k requirement now for this visa

@Amanda ********

no that won’t work. Minimum unearned or passive income of USD 80,000 / year at the time of application (Note that earned income and salaries WILL NOT be considered for the personal income requirement for wealthy pensioners). The 80k USD needs to be passive income not savings.

only need to report each year. Took me less than 5 min upon arrival to immigration. And if u use multi entry that ends up being 57,000 (1900 + 3800/year x 10 years os 57,000) baht if u r using Non-O visa over 10 years. So u save 7,000 plus u don’t have to report every 90 days (annually) and no extensions every year either. (It’s automatic).

Basically come and go at will. If u leave before the 1yr report period it resets when I come back so u might never have to see immigration until the 5yr mark where they check your documents again to see if u r still qualifying.

And no requirement to bank any money in Thailand. However the visa allows u to immediately open up a bank account.

@Jim *******

indeed!

do do you have to attend the course every year? Twice every year? Can you attend the same course every year? 😅
