TLDR : Answer Summary

The cost for obtaining an Elite Visa in Thailand ranges from 650,000 baht to 5,000,000 baht, depending on the package chosen, with varying durations. It is important to note that applications for the lowest tier (650,000 baht) will end on June 30, 2025, after which the minimum cost will increase to 900,000 baht. Alternatives like retirement and Digital Nomad Visas (DTV) as well as the Long-Term Resident (LTR) visa, which is valid for 10 years, were also suggested as options.

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

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

And, needless to say, many rich and money spending people also don't know "how to behave", using your own words.

That's a clueless, arrogant mindset. It's the same everywhere in the world where there is tourism, you always get some cheap charlies. The country will go bankrupt without mass tourism, but there is a price to pay for it. Not everyone is perfect like you.

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.

The Elite Visa does not confer any tax benefits. Only the LTR visa does that.
