So why did you say 40 million baht then. You should only provide advice if you know the facts.

Robert please see the chart above that you mention 20 year 1 million. No spa, golf, health checks, airport transfers and not transferable. You only get fastrack and the admin services. 20 year 2 million you get everything.... spa, golf health check, airport transfers, fastrack, transferable. Is there something I am missing? I am talking specifically about the 20 year option and not the others.

Yes and why wouldn't they. They don't want bums who will end up on th street. They want wealthy people who will contribute to the economy.

Leon you get ONLY the visa for 1M for 20 years and you can't sell the package if you don't want it anymore. Also no benefits. 2M and you get the full package and can transfer / sell.

555...Yes all the privileges that anyone with money can buy :)

I read up on the 'Investment visa'..but it is pretty expensive and has a lot of rules.....

There have been promotions linking condo ownership and a long term visa. But when you dig down they are always just a Buy a Condo and also buy an elite visa at the same time....LOL..

A plethora of education Rob :)

I had ED for a while and am still studying Thai after I finished using the visa. I enjoy it. Very satisfying to learn a new language and use it in every day life...and if you get a visa as well....then all good :) Terary is talking about paying a dodgy school to get you the visa without studying. I would NOT advise that...!! You used to be able to get one for ''studying' Muay Thai as well....may still apply. .

Emily if you need to stay longer term after a few tourist visas there is always the ED visa option...that is if you wanted to learn Thai or another language...
