I’m trying to get my head around all of the different types of visas available and which one would best suit me? In all of the discussions, on this forum, I haven’t read anything about the Thai Elite Visa.

Qualification appears quite simple?

Or, am I missing something?

What are the qualifications for Thailand Elite Membership?

The applicants must meet and maintain the following qualifications:

Holder of a foreign passport

Being allowed to stay in Thailand in accordance with the immigration laws, which means the applicant has no overstay record in Thailand

No age limit is required for this program.

Not having been sentenced by a judgment to imprisonment in any country except for an offense committed to negligence

Not having been adjudicated bankrupt

Not having been declared as a person of unsound mind, incompetence, or quasi-incompetence

Any positive feedback would be welcomed. 🙏

My wife and I are planning our second retirement in Pattaya early next year. We are planning on entering on a 60 day tourist visa. We are planning on applying for a wealth visa after arrival. We will have a 30 lease agreement from our son and daughter in law which is Thai. My son is on the lease but will not live with us. We are 80 and 78 years old and have $100,000 set aside in a US bank account for the past year. This is a requirement if you plan to being self-insured.  We can meet the requirements as for as income. We don’t plan on returning to the US anytime that year but staying in Thailand. Is this possibly or should will apply for a 5 year elite visa and after 5 years get a wealth visa.

We need to open a Thai bank account but plan on having enough US funds to live comfortably for the rest of the year if need be. We have a small Yorkie dog that will be with us upon arrival. My son which has now three condos, says we should be able to do this with a good agent. We were in Thailand last year for 7 weeks.

Thank you.

I have a 15 year PE visa renewal coming up, I may take an internal job here in Thailand. How does that affect the PE Visa?

Does it cancel it out entirely or when my work permit ends will I be able to return to PE visa mode?
