TLDR : Answer Summary

Recent applicants report that the processing time for a 5-Year Thai Elite visa takes about 2.5 to 3 months. The process may take longer now due to background checks implemented by the Thai authorities. For inquiries, contacting Thai Elite customer service is recommended.

now that they do the background check it takes a little longer than it used to

Surprisingly the thai elite customer service staff speak excellent english. I'd call them and talk to them directly.
