What are the costs and reporting requirements for the 10 year Elite Family Alternative visa in Thailand?

Mike ********

@Linz ***********

I think elite visa is ok if you've got money to burn, 800k baht in thai bank doesn't fill me with confidence either, but its like a safety buffer, you should try a couple of visa agents for quotes also,.

@Riaan *********

A $10 onward air ticket/an Agoda hotel reservation (cancelable)and 20 k bht out of atm and I don’t think you would have had a problem,. Good Wi-Fi and you could have sorted it all in half an hour,. If you had all 3 to hand on re entry to thailand they hadn’t any grounds to deny you,.
