Hi Everyone, I am thinking of applying for the Thai Elite Superiority Extension Visa. Has anyone applied for that visa? It would be great to get your thoughts on this (ie, how did you find the visa process, anything to avoid, what worked well etc?)

Also, I am thinking of getting an immigration lawyer to sort this out. Does anyone have any recommendations for lawyers? I have come across Siam Legal? Any thoughts on them? They are also not going to charge any fee aside from the Thai Elite membership fee. 

Any suggestions, thoughts, comments I would love to hear.

Thank you ! 🙏

@Jim *******

is that a long term retirement for 10 years? I heard that you can get a retirement visa once you are 50 but it's for 1 year and you need to renew every year and prove you can meet the requirements every year, ie, 800k in your bank account?

Faria Rahman the Elite Visa will be updated, not completely discontinued. Siam Legal points out 2 dates on it's website to keep in mind. I think the 15th of this month from memory, is a deadline for current Elite Visa holders to update if they wish to continue with this type of Visa. Again from memory, a date in September this year is, I believe, relevant perhaps to people who are interested in the Elite Visas as they are currently. No details of the changes have yet been published by the Thailand Government.
