TLDR : Answer Summary
The ELITE VISA entry progress appears to be delayed, with no definitive updates from authorities. Some holders have managed entry through alternative means, like marriage visas, although this process is deemed tedious by many. Inquiries to Thailand Elite might provide the latest information, but there's speculation that the next phase may not occur within the year.

No Elite holder in yet, one guy got in but had to get a marriage visa for entry

@Michael *******
I’d sooner wait until next year before I resort to marriage

Marriage seems like the worse option with all the annual visa renewal requirements such as pictures of the martial bed, neighbors confirming of the marriage actually exists;stacks of photos just so much paperwork involved it’s not even worth getting married. Just live together.

Actually its not that much paperwork and i have never had to do pictures etc. But i was looking at 20 yr elite for a million baht.

that Elite visa is starting to look like a better deal even after you have paid ฿500,000 at least you can walk away from it any time

They better hurry up if they do not want bankruptcy Courts being fully booked till the next decade...

So it will be on Phase 7. Which might not happen this year.

It went rather quiet on the subject after initially a announcement but they never ended up on the original list. Contact Thailand Elite to see if they have an update.
