We could not be happier with Hailey and her team (Yam)! If you are considering exploring the Thailand Elite Visa then please, reach out to Hailey. You will be put at ease from the moment you connect. The process was made so much more enjoyable thanks to them and they were so willing to go above and beyond to help. I will most definitely be back for my next Elite Visa in 5 years!
Thank you so much, John and Phil! We are so happy you chose us to help you through the Elite visa process as you return to Thailand. Best wishes as you re-explore Bangkok and keep in touch!
I arrived in Phuket sandbox on 5 October 2021 from London with a visa on arrival which I will switch to Elite. I can only echo all the positive comments below about this service. It all began with a video call in late July and every step of the way Hailey and Sammie took care of all the application process from start to finish. I am truly glad I used this service and would recommend to anybody planning to visit Thailand at the moment. I particularly liked the way I was kept up to date with the frequent changes to covid rules so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Thank you Hailey and Sammie.
Hi Clive! Thank you so much for your kind testimonial. I work hard to stay on top of government changes and the common inconsistencies, so I am so grateful you found this additional assistance helpful. It makes me very happy to read you didn't have to worry about a thing. Mission accomplished! Thank you Clive.
I love how you layout the timeframe on your video regarding which subjects you’ll be speaking about! That’s detail/ time-consuming editing on your end!
The idea of moving to Thailand has always been such an intimidating idea, but these videos are so informative and helpful. Definitely makes relocating much less daunting. Thanks!
Hailey and the whole team were a pleasure to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and efficient with the elite visa process and also for the Coe process. They offer many services for expats and I would highly recommend them and I hope to use them again in the future. Thanks Hailey you made my move to Thailand a stroll in the park. 🇬🇧🇹🇭
Thank you so much Karl! I am happy to have helped you and your mother move Thailand. Thank you for being understanding throughout the process and taking the time to comment. I hope you feel happy at home in Thailand 🌞🏝 🇹🇭
Finally, got my Elite visa and COE, I’ll be on my way to Phuket in 2 weeks. A big “thank you”to Hailey and Sammie, couldn’t have done it without their help. Hope to see you guys when I get to Chiangmai. Cheers!!!
In January, the Easy Access is being raised to $19,850. If someone going to stay in Thailand longer than 15yrs, might as well get the 20yr visa. The new Easy Access price for 3 yrs is going to be $59,550. While the 20yr visa is only $33,000. Cheaper in the long run, to just go ahead and get the 20yr visa, if you're going to be in Thailand longer than 15yrs.
Thanks for your input cjack. Yes the price will be raised. In order to get the current price of 500,000THB (approximately $16,600) you must submit an application before December 31, 2020. I agree, the 20 year Superiority Extension definitely pays off for anyone living in Thailand longer than 10 years!
Thank you. Great videos! We love the way you speak slowly, clearly and the overall video presentation with current information and photos. This will help me retire in Thailand with my Thai wife and child.

Hailey made it easy for me to get the thai elite visa. She filled out all the forms for me, walked me through the whole process -- and the process is not so easy in our current covid age (you're going to want an assistant to help with the myriad things the government asks of you). With Hailey I could just have her handle all of it -- and she can do your quarterly reportings too. So I think if you want a visa in today's world and planning to come to Thailand she's a very good choice. And she's also just very nice, like you see in the videos here.
Hailey and her colleague Sammie (aka The Visa Angel !) have nailed their business process for getting this visa. This process was extremely smooth & fast! In my life/career I have churned through ~8 residency/passport processes and this was honestly
It is truly my honor to help you leave Australia and start your life in Thailand! John, you have been a joy to work with and Sammie 😇 and I are grateful for the opportunity to assist you 🙏
Well explained..... I have a question. Can Elite visa holder or 1 year tourist visa holder open bank ac and trade forex in thailand with Thailand regulated forex brokers? Your answer will be much appreciated...Thank you :)
Fantastic content. I am actually strongly considering retiring in Thailand. I'm 50, retired once from Law Enforcement in the United States. However, I currently work as a contractor in the middle east. In good physical and mental shape, and I really enjoy Asia. I will reach out to you. Best wishes Phillip
Thank you for your comment Phillip! A retired friend that used to work in the Middle East introduced me to the Elite visa years ago. It’s been especially beneficial for him as he’s had to travel in and out of the country often. I look forward to hearing from you!
I have a 5yr plan to finally retire in Thailand and will definitely look you guys up when the time comes. I’ve seen many videos from other RUclipsrs that strongly recommend ur services 👍🏼
Now THIS is exactly what I needed. I had the gist of elite visas and I already knew that it's what I wanted, but you filled in all the gaps. I will be sure to contact your agency when I'm ready to obtain the visa. Thanks so much!
What if the rules change and you've already paid all that money? Is there some sort of long term guarantee of validity? Also,any other ongoing/additional fees? Thanks ✌
It's definitely a possibility, but unless there's some kind of weird Khmer Rouge style revolution I would be willing to bet they'll grandfather in current holders. It's not just that taking away what people have already paid for is really bad for Thailand's tourism brand, but these aren't permanent residences, and they all have expiration dates. If Thailand really decides they don't want all these foreigners around, it would be easy to just end the program for new applicants and let the existing memberships just expire. The number who have 20-year memberships is quite small; more than half issued are 5-year memberships, and the total number of members isn't even that high. Plus the holders are people who spend money in Thailand, and the trend in recent years has been to try to stamp out "Zero Baht tourism", i.e., those who spend hardly any money.
Thank you so much Kurt!!! We are so happy you could return to Chiang Mai with the Elite visa. It was so nice to meet in person today. Yam and I appreciate the Belgian chocolates so much!!! 🙏❤️🇧🇪
can buying a real estate property qualify a person for a permanent resident visa? extra service under this program is not practical. but habing a permanent resident is way lot of things to offer.
If you’re new to the RUclips videos, you’re off to a great start. Very nice presentation, giving your viewers a great first impression! I hit the subscribe and look forward to your future videos, hoping to spend more time in Thailand after covid... 🤗👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for making this video. Im currently in the process of moving over to Thailand, but I’m not eligible for the retirement visa yet (under 50), so the Thai Elite Visa seems to fit the bill. Concise and well spoken. Cheers!
Awesome! I assist Elite clients through the relocation process at no additional fee (only the cost of the visa). If you’d like to discuss further, you can email me at hailey@retireinchiangmai.com or book a call: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=18447876
This is great information. I really do think the 20 year Elite Superiority Extension is a great deal, considering that the 10 year O-X retirement visa requires something like 3 million baht in the bank or 1.8 million in bank plus 1.2 million in yearly income (along with a multitude of other requirements and the hassles of reporting 90 days, extensions, etc.). The one thing I was wondering about was being able to work in Thailand on the Elite visa. At time 13:29, it mentions that as long as you are not physically working in Thailand, you can work online. I think this is one of those grey areas and not something I am too sure about, though I believe there's currently nothing in Thai law that prohibits online work.
Hi Kobzster! Yes, you can work online. If you would like to discuss further, I'd be happy to clarify and send you proof of the ability to work online. You can email me hailey@retireinchiangmai.com or book a free consultation: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=18447876
I have been in a crazy sort of set-backs and issues due to covid and yet Hailey and her team made the process of acquiring an elite visa a breeze for me. I had so many complications and weird issues due to special circumstances and yet, they were able to answer/resolve all my concerns impressively. I'm so happy my friends friends referred me to Hailey and I really hope that these words convince you to seek her consult as well!
Hi Hailey, I live in Hawaii and I am planning to move to Thailand sometime this year. I am looking to live in Chiang Mai. I also want to get the elite visa through your office. You are so very good at explaining everything. I do have a few questions to ask you before I apply for the visa. You are so professional and happy and I am sure that you will be the best person to go through this process with.
well explained and i got mine exactly the way you described and in the timeframe too, it was really easy to do through an authorised seller, who answered any questions i had, its pricey but in the long run not much more than other visas, takes all hassle away from 90 day reporting too.
I have just used Hailey’s firm, HH Premium to get my Thailand Elite Visa and I thoroughly recommend them. Hailey and Yam are professional, detailed, clear, responsive and extremely kind. Hailey and her team help people who want to settle all over Thailand: I arrived in Bangkok. Look no further; my experience was first class - thank you, Hailey and Yam.
Thank you so much Andrew! We are truly grateful to have helped you, and we appreciate you writing a comment recommending us! When you make it up to Chiang Mai, feel free to visit us at our office to say hi 😊
@@AP-bg5ed Hello. Since you've been through the process can you let me know what the criminal background check for this visa involves? Do you have to get a police report from your country and send in with the application? Is it a background check of only your record in Thailand? I've heard if you've overstayed a visa that it disqualifies you. This part is confusing and I don't have a clear answer. This is an expensive visa and I would like as much information as possible before pulling the trigger.
thank you so much for a very informative video...I plan on retiring in Thailand next year and had no idea of this Elite Visa...I will definitely now be going for this option..
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful. If you have any questions or you'd like me to assist you through the application, I'd be happy to help (free of charge).

It depends on your nationality, but there are 2 main types of tourist visas. The most common is the “visa exemption” which is a free 30 day visa (increasing to 45 days) and issued when you arrive at the airport/border in Thailand.
I would like to know if the applicant for the Elite Visa is HIV positive. Is it possible to get the medications for free? Or if is not, is it simple to pay for it? I ask this because in some countries is only possible by the government. Thank you!

Can you update this video with the recent Thailand visa rules and their impact on those foreigners in Thailand under the old OA and O visa rules? Are those old OA and O visa rules grandfathered in, or must those foreigners abide by the new Thailand visa rules?
Hi Yanni! Yes I plan to make an updated video about Elite membership. The financial requirement of 800K THB remains for the Non O and Non OA visas, and medical insurance may be required for the Non O visa now as well, depending on where you acquire your Non O visa. Non O and Non OA requirements do not affect Elite membership. The requirements and eligibility for Elite remain the same, but the packages and process to get the visa sticker in your passport have changed. I will make a video about this for you very soon Yanni :)
The newest video in your channel was posted nine months ago. . . . . . Is your company still existing. . . . . .? ? I noticed that Hailey is amicable and amiable. . . . . . Each and every one of your vids is informative. . . . . . I’d doubtlessly elect your consultant services when I decide to move to Thailand with Retirement Visa.
Hi Rick! Yes, we are still open and operating as usual. I am quite involved with the company so it's difficult to find time to make new videos :) Thank you for your kind words!
Great vid. Thanks! Questions: 1. What if you are not in Thailand when the 90 day reporting is to be done? 2. Guess the money for the Visa is a one time non refundable payment? 3. What happens after 5 years? Do we have to pay again or can the Visa be extended without charge?
Hi Jay, no it’s not required for the Elite visa 👍 but right now all foreigners entering Thailand are required to have COVID insurance for the “length of stay.” There are ways to purchase just 1 month of insurance to meet this requirement 😉
The criminal background check is only for very serious crimes. DUIs and misdemeanors do not prevent approval. 100% of my clients have been approved 😉 if you’d like to learn about Elite and assistance I provide my clients (no service fees) you can checkout my website and book a consultation: retireinchiangmai.com/elite-visa/ app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=18447876
Excellent presentation. I have 1 question about applicants with more than one passport: can they apply for the Thai elite visa using their country of birth passport rather than the passport of their country of current residence? Both passports are North American passports.
You can apply with either passport. (I apologize for the delayed response - I missed this notification!) I can assist you to apply at no additional fee. You can contact me at hailey@retireinchiangmai.com or book a free consultation here: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=18447876
You can own a business as a shareholder but you cannot work in the restaurant. If you hold the Elite visa, you are not eligible for a work permit and cannot physically work in Thailand
Hi Tyreese! Currently for either of the 20 year packages, when the visa expires you can re-apply for a new Elite package. Upgrades/extensions and packages are likely to change in 20 years. If you'd like to discuss further, you can book a call with me here: hhpremium.as.me/elite 😊
Hi Annie, yes, no problem. We’ve helped many UK citizens get the Elite visa from the Thai Embassy in London as well as upon arrival when landing in Thailand. To receive our assistance, you can email me: hailey@hhpremium.com / Visit our website: hhpremium.com / Book a consultation: hhpremium.as.me/ I look forward to connecting!
Yes, you must do 90 day reporting. If you live in Chiang Mai, we assist with this and can pick up and drop off your passport to you so you don’t need to leave your home 😊
I’m sorry, we specialize in retirement and Elite visas and do not offer assistance for short term visas. Depending on your nationality you may be eligible for a 2-3 month tourist visa.
The Elite Family Excursion package was just discontinued on 15 June (video link below). Alternative there is a 10 year family package for 1.5M thb total, or you can get 20 years for 2M thb total.

Hi Hayley, yeah the elite visa sounds a good bet, as I will want a long term stay as i wont be returning to my country, I'd appreciate any and all information re Elite visa
@@patrickgomez91 OK well I did exactly that. I entered in January without a visa and got a 30 day stamp on arrival and then a few days before it expired I went to immigration and got an extension for another 30 days. I think it cost 1000 bht. Just make sure you have a cheap onward flight also known as a throw away flight when you first arrive as you have to show that you intend to leave after the first 30 days. After 60 days you will then have to exit Thailand and start again.
You only pay the cost of the Elite package, and payment is made directly to Thailand Elite. I do not charge service fees because I receive commission for clients I assist 😊 You can read client reviews and learn more here: retireinchiangmai.com/elite-visa/ Or email me to discuss further: hailey@retireinchiangmai.com
Question, The Elite Superiority Extension (20 years) says cost is 1M thb but also says 5 year renewable. What does the renewable mean? Also, no annual fee?
Hi Amanda, Yes, I'd be happy to hire a Spanish speaking family member or friend to act as a translator. You can email me if you'd like to learn more and move forward. hailey@thailandelitespecialist.com
Would the elite visa qualify for the "Household Effects Duty Exemption"? We want to bring in a container of our house stuff. Its not clear to me if you need a work visa or just a visa that is more than a year long?
Can an elite visa holder purchase a landed property in Thailand. If visa holder stays in Thailand for long term, will his offshore income subject to tax in Thailand?
Hi Coke Zero (haha), I'd be happy to answer your question but cannot provide enough information in a RUclips comment. You can book a consultation to discuss further: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=18447876

Yes, every foreigner entering Thailand must abide by the ASQ quarantine requirement when they arrrive in Thailand (8 nights vaccinated, 11 nights non-vaccinated)
What happens if you leave Thailand more than once in a year? Every time you come back you get stamped, but are you then losing months? I don't understand this point?
You don’t lose any time. It’s multiple entry visa with a 1 year length of stay for each entry. You will automatically receive a new 1 year stamp upon each entry, so if you travel more than once per year you never need to be concerned about the 1 year stamp expiry because it will automatically be renewed every time you re-enter Thailand. If you stay in Thailand for more than 365 days without leaving then you must receive a new 1 year stamp at your local Immigration office.
That’s right 😊 there are 2 different 20 year programs. $30,000 usd for a package that is mainly used for the visa, or $60,000 usd with an annual fee of $600 usd with additional perks like health and dental checks, adventure tours, spa packages, car service, and more. Email me to discuss further. hailey@thailandelitespecialist.com 🇹🇭
Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs conducts the criminal background check. This is only for very serious crimes - sentenced to imprisonment, arrest warrant, exiled by Thailand, or considered to be an "unsound person" that can be harmful to Thai society

Hey Bob. You are so welcome! Yes, the Easy Access package is the most popular.

high quality visa service always correct, quick answer and good follow-up of the file. It is a fantastic team, top top top
Thank you so much Kurt!!! We are so happy you could return to Chiang Mai with the Elite visa. It was so nice to meet in person today. Yam and I appreciate the Belgian chocolates so much!!! 🙏❤️🇧🇪
can buying a real estate property qualify a person for a permanent resident visa? extra service under this program is not practical. but habing a permanent resident is way lot of things to offer.
The best Elite Visa video in RUclips
Woooo! Awesome, thanks Mad Max. If the Elite visa is a good fit for you I’d be happy to help you through the process ( no service fees ) 😉
I’m in. Plan on retiring in Thailand in 5 years. This will be for me. Thanks.
Awesome George! Nice to see how much you love Thailand from your photo :D
If you’re new to the RUclips videos, you’re off to a great start. Very nice presentation, giving your viewers a great first impression! I hit the subscribe and look forward to your future videos, hoping to spend more time in Thailand after covid... 🤗👍🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for the praise Roger! Really appreciate you taking the time to share ❤️ one day you’ll make it back to Thailand! We’ll be here 😊
Thank you for making this video. Im currently in the process of moving over to Thailand, but I’m not eligible for the retirement visa yet (under 50), so the Thai Elite Visa seems to fit the bill. Concise and well spoken. Cheers!
Awesome! I assist Elite clients through the relocation process at no additional fee (only the cost of the visa). If you’d like to discuss further, you can email me at hailey@retireinchiangmai.com or book a call: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=18447876
This is great information. I really do think the 20 year Elite Superiority Extension is a great deal, considering that the 10 year O-X retirement visa requires something like 3 million baht in the bank or 1.8 million in bank plus 1.2 million in yearly income (along with a multitude of other requirements and the hassles of reporting 90 days, extensions, etc.).
The one thing I was wondering about was being able to work in Thailand on the Elite visa. At time 13:29, it mentions that as long as you are not physically working in Thailand, you can work online. I think this is one of those grey areas and not something I am too sure about, though I believe there's currently nothing in Thai law that prohibits online work.
Hi Kobzster! Yes, you can work online. If you would like to discuss further, I'd be happy to clarify and send you proof of the ability to work online. You can email me hailey@retireinchiangmai.com or book a free consultation: app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=18663956&appointmentType=18447876
I have been in a crazy sort of set-backs and issues due to covid and yet Hailey and her team made the process of acquiring an elite visa a breeze for me. I had so many complications and weird issues due to special circumstances and yet, they were able to answer/resolve all my concerns impressively. I'm so happy my friends friends referred me to Hailey and I really hope that these words convince you to seek her consult as well!
Thank you so much Tristan! We are happy to have helped you and hope to meet you soon. 😊
Have you done a comparison of 20 years of retirement visas vs. 20 year Elite visa?
No I haven’t! Good idea!
wow!! such a detailed, professional and clear video. Thank you Hailey, this is beyond helpful! Your videos just keep getting better and better!! :)
Thank you Lala Sol!! ❤️
Hi Hailey, I live in Hawaii and I am planning to move to Thailand sometime this year. I am looking to live in Chiang Mai. I also want to get the elite visa through your office. You are so very good at explaining everything. I do have a few questions to ask you before I apply for the visa. You are so professional and happy and I am sure that you will be the best person to go through this process with.
Hi Matt! It was wonderful to e-meet you today! Thank you for your kind comment. We look forward to assisting you and meeting you in Chiang Mai!
Unbelievably clear information. Thank you.
Thanks Michael, happy to hear it was helpful for you!
well explained and i got mine exactly the way you described and in the timeframe too, it was really easy to do through an authorised seller, who answered any questions i had, its pricey but in the long run not much more than other visas, takes all hassle away from 90 day reporting too.
These videos have been so helpful, educational and informative! Thank you for making this process so easy for us and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you Hashi Hashi! I appreciate it a lot. 🙏
I can’t tell with your RUclips name.. Are we currently helping you through the Elite process? 😊
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist Not yet, but looking into it for the future.
@@hashihashi1019 I look forward to e-meeting whenever you’re ready to move forward.
Do you have a lender that will finance Americans purchasing Condos in Thailand? Thank you
No, I’m sorry I cannot recommend anyone for this.
How do they do the criminal check?
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs checks INTERPOL records, and the Immigration department checks your visa record history.
You explain this so well, it makes me feel comfortable and even excited to plan my move to Thailand. Thank you!!
Thank you David!
I plan on retiring there in under 3 yrs at 60 !!!
How do I know if an agent is an authorized seller of the Elite Visa?
What about getting credit card in Thailand?
I have just used Hailey’s firm, HH Premium to get my Thailand Elite Visa and I thoroughly recommend them. Hailey and Yam are professional, detailed, clear, responsive and extremely kind. Hailey and her team help people who want to settle all over Thailand: I arrived in Bangkok.
Look no further; my experience was first class - thank you, Hailey and Yam.
Thank you so much Andrew! We are truly grateful to have helped you, and we appreciate you writing a comment recommending us! When you make it up to Chiang Mai, feel free to visit us at our office to say hi 😊
I shall definitely be doing so, Hailey.
Warmest wishes

@@AP-bg5ed Hello. Since you've been through the process can you let me know what the criminal background check for this visa involves? Do you have to get a police report from your country and send in with the application? Is it a background check of only your record in Thailand? I've heard if you've overstayed a visa that it disqualifies you. This part is confusing and I don't have a clear answer. This is an expensive visa and I would like as much information as possible before pulling the trigger.
thank you so much for a very informative video...I plan on retiring in Thailand next year and had no idea of this Elite Visa...I will definitely now be going for this option..
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful. If you have any questions or you'd like me to assist you through the application, I'd be happy to help (free of charge).

Do i have to pay for a tourist visa? How long Thailand normally stamp your passport for a tourist visa?
It depends on your nationality, but there are 2 main types of tourist visas. The most common is the “visa exemption” which is a free 30 day visa (increasing to 45 days) and issued when you arrive at the airport/border in Thailand.
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist im british.
Excellent detailed information, all in one place. Thank you!
Happy to help Barry!
I would like to know if the applicant for the Elite Visa is HIV positive. Is it possible to get the medications for free? Or if is not, is it simple to pay for it? I ask this because in some countries is only possible by the government. Thank you!

Does having a bankruptcy from the US disqualify someone from getting a thia elite visa?
No, bankruptcy in the US does not disqualify you (but declaring bankruptcy in Thailand would make you ineligible).

Excellent video. Definitely changed my mind on the elite visa. Quick question after 1st 20 year visa over can you get another one? Thanks
Yes, you can reapply for a new visa 👍
Your information is really very helpful I already deposited for elite visa and waiting for welcome letter . If need I hopefully getting help from you..thanks
thank you for making everything so clear🤗
Si, if I get a 5 year elite, but de use to upgrade to a 20 year visa....is there a break on the price?
Yes! As of January 1, 2021, you can upgrade to the 20 year visa for just 400,000 THB more 😄
Can you update this video with the recent Thailand visa rules and their impact on those foreigners in Thailand under the old OA and O visa rules? Are those old OA and O visa rules grandfathered in, or must those foreigners abide by the new Thailand visa rules?
Hi Yanni! Yes I plan to make an updated video about Elite membership. The financial requirement of 800K THB remains for the Non O and Non OA visas, and medical insurance may be required for the Non O visa now as well, depending on where you acquire your Non O visa.
Non O and Non OA requirements do not affect Elite membership. The requirements and eligibility for Elite remain the same, but the packages and process to get the visa sticker in your passport have changed. I will make a video about this for you very soon Yanni :)
The newest video in your channel was posted nine months ago. . . . . .
Is your company still existing. . . . . .? ?
I noticed that Hailey is amicable and amiable. . . . . .

decide to move to Thailand with
Retirement Visa.
Hi Rick! Yes, we are still open and operating as usual. I am quite involved with the company so it's difficult to find time to make new videos :) Thank you for your kind words!
Great vid. Thanks! Questions: 1. What if you are not in Thailand when the 90 day reporting is to be done? 2. Guess the money for the Visa is a one time non refundable payment? 3. What happens after 5 years? Do we have to pay again or can the Visa be extended without charge?
Hi Hailey, is private medical/health insurance compulsory for elite visa holders to stay in thailamd lomg term? thanka..
Hi Jay, no it’s not required for the Elite visa 👍 but right now all foreigners entering Thailand are required to have COVID insurance for the “length of stay.” There are ways to purchase just 1 month of insurance to meet this requirement 😉
What age eligible for retirement visa?
Many packages can be any age. Some require 18+
@@ThailandEliteSpecialist TR can change retirement right?
Yes, you can change from TR to Non O.
Great video! How are they with criminal backgrounds for say for minor spent things?

Excellent presentation. I have 1 question about applicants with more than one passport: can they apply for the Thai elite visa using their country of birth passport rather than the passport of their country of current residence? Both passports are North American passports.

Can we open a restaurant by holding Elite visa?
You can own a business as a shareholder but you cannot work in the restaurant. If you hold the Elite visa, you are not eligible for a work permit and cannot physically work in Thailand

@@ThailandEliteSpecialist i was google it and i see i can go to bangkok without a visa. is that true.
@@patrickgomez91 With a 30 day visa maybe. 14 days quarantine and maybe able to extend 30 or maybe 45 days to allow for the quarantine
@@kidvinie6491 oh okay but I don't want to stay in the hotel in 14 days. I'm just going to wait unit that off
@@patrickgomez91 OK well I did exactly that. I entered in January without a visa and got a 30 day stamp on arrival and then a few days before it expired I went to immigration and got an extension for another 30 days. I think it cost 1000 bht. Just make sure you have a cheap onward flight also known as a throw away flight when you first arrive as you have to show that you intend to leave after the first 30 days. After 60 days you will then have to exit Thailand and start again.
So for transparency, agent collects fee from who ?, or get a percentage of Elite Visa fee ?
You only pay the cost of the Elite package, and payment is made directly to Thailand Elite. I do not charge service fees because I receive commission for clients I assist 😊

Can I easily open a Thai bank account with the elite visa??
Yes, Elite will book an appointment for you to open an account at the bank and branch of your choice (either Bangkok bank or Kasikorn).
Would the elite visa qualify for the "Household Effects Duty Exemption"? We want to bring in a container of our house stuff. Its not clear to me if you need a work visa or just a visa that is more than a year long?

Does an Elite Visa person require to serve the Quarantine ?
Yes, every foreigner entering Thailand must abide by the ASQ quarantine requirement when they arrrive in Thailand (8 nights vaccinated, 11 nights non-vaccinated)
What happens if you leave Thailand more than once in a year? Every time you come back you get stamped, but are you then losing months? I don't understand this point?
You don’t lose any time. It’s multiple entry visa with a 1 year length of stay for each entry. You will automatically receive a new 1 year stamp upon each entry, so if you travel more than once per year you never need to be concerned about the 1 year stamp expiry because it will automatically be renewed every time you re-enter Thailand.
If you stay in Thailand for more than 365 days without leaving then you must receive a new 1 year stamp at your local Immigration office.
Wow so as long as I pay the $60,000 usd I can stay in Thailand for 20 years?
That’s right 😊 there are 2 different 20 year programs. $30,000 usd for a package that is mainly used for the visa, or $60,000 usd with an annual fee of $600 usd with additional perks like health and dental checks, adventure tours, spa packages, car service, and more.
