- New 20 years Elite program – THB 5,000,000
- New 15 years Elite program – THB 2,500,000

It is expected that the new programs will be ranked in a tier system and the Family program may no longer be available.
What can we expect from the new Thailand Elite membership?
The new Thailand Elite membership is expected to be different from the currently available programs in terms of benefits and privileges. Instead of fixed privileges as offered by currently available programs. These new programs will offer more flexibility and more freedom for the members to customize the privileges to best fit personal preferences.
When will these new program be launched?
So far there has not been any official confirmation about this yet, but we can expect it to be in effect sometimes around October 2023. Once this is officially launched, there will be a small window period for some applicants to apply for the currently available programs. However, the payment of the membership fee will have to be completed within 30 days after the Approval letter is issued or else the application will automatically be canceled.
Our suggestion…
If Thailand Elite long-stay visa is at the top of your priorities. Then you should hurry and apply currently available Thailand Elite membership. For our recommendation, 20 years Elite Superiority Extension is the best option available in terms of value for money as it only cost THB 50,000 per year.
