Какие преимущества Элитной визы Таиланда?

  • Multiple-entry visa: The Thailand Elite Visa offers a 5-year multiple-entry visa with the possibility of extending it up to 20 years. This visa allows for an uninterrupted stay in Thailand, eliminating the need to leave the country every 90 days, as required by other visa types. This visa also grants additional benefits depending on the selected package, for a membership fee.
  • Airport service:  A member doesn’t need to experience the hassle of visa runs, visa conditions, extensions, paperwork, and going to immigration from 5 to 20 years.  Members will have exclusive access to airport lounges and concierges and services, avoiding long lines, expedited passport processing, and immigration procedures once arrive in Thailand.  It will only take 30 minutes to process, unlike non-members that would spend almost the whole day in the immigration office.
  • EPL Personal Assistance:  Elite Personal Liaison will represent the Thailand Elite Visa holder all through the 90-day reporting period mandated by Thailand Immigration.
  • Limousine Service:  A Thailand Elite Visa member will have a VIP greeting and escort from Elite Personal Assistants upon arrival and departure. In addition, a member will enjoy a roundtrip limousine service from the airport to the residence or hotel.
  • Discounts and Leisure:  Thailand Elite Visa members will enjoy access to spas, golf courses, short-haul and long-haul excursions (depending on the type of visa of the member), and other recreational activities.  Enjoy free annual health checks and exclusive discounts on resorts, hotels, restaurants, Muay Thai gyms, schools, and malls.
  • Opening Bank Account:  Thailand Elite Visa members can open a bank account at any local bank.  A member must present a passport and membership letter or membership card.
  • Apply for Credit Card:  Thailand Elite Visa members can apply for a credit card through Bangkok Bank, one of the leading banks in Thailand provided that they must present a passport, membership card, or membership letter, and open a fixed deposit account with a minimum deposit of THB 50,000.
  • Members can start investing by buying shares of stocks, investing in a condominium unit, or even getting a car and securing a driver’s license.
  • Optional Health Insurance:  Members of the Thailand Elite Visa don’t require health insurance, unlike other types of visas like retirement visas.  A member needs to provide a copy of the passport to the agent, and they will handle all the processes.  Unlike other visas, Thailand Elite members are not required to buy health insurance before traveling to Thailand.

“I had filled out the contact message to figure out how I would move me and my children to Thailand for a long term stay and I was met with incredible service, I was contacted straight away via email, set up a phone call and since I had read everything on the website I knew most of what I needed to know – we decided to get the Thailand Elite Family Premium Membership  and we couldn’t be happier not having to deal with issues staying in Thailand, I will happily be referring my friends to the Hawryluk Legal Team!”

– Candice Johansson

“As My first language is Mandarin, there are some things that I didn’t understand while speaking to some other agents, but as I contacted Thailand Elite Phuket I was met with a Chinese speaking lawyer who was able to fill me in on everything I did not understand and within a few days we began the application process, I am currently awaiting my approval but I cannot be happier with the service I was met with.”
