TLDR : Answer Summary
The cost for an Elite Visa in Thailand ranges from 650,000 to 5,000,000 baht, with the duration depending on the price paid. However, applications for the 650,000 baht tier will end on June 30, after which the minimum cost will rise to 900,000 baht. Consider other visa options such as the retirement or DTV visa, and also evaluate eligibility for the LTR visa, which is valid for 10 years.

Also check out whether you’d qualify for the LTR visa. That’s valid for 10 years.

You better off with retirement or DTV

on the official Website I can't find any anouncement that it will end on June 30. Maybe a FOMO tactic from the agencys

you now a lot Stuart, is it Würth it the 650.000 baht ? Or not ?

@Rini ********
It’s a lot of money for 5 years, especially now the DTV is out there.

Whether it’s worth it is subjective. Some like the hassle free, no holds barred 5 years.

@Rini ********
Sorry but I don’t advise on tax matters. You need to talk to an accountant or tax advisor for that type of stuff.
