    This visa scheme is really for 2 groups of people on which the Thai government was losing revenue: digital nomads and rich tourists. Digital nomads were doing visa runs. The rich were doing the same visa runs, mostly back to their home countries. As much as I enjoy my trips to Thailand, I am not sure I need to spend $30K USD to do winter stays. I also do not want to make that big of an investment in a country that has a military government. A government that has made so many changes in the last 20 years. You trust the Thai government and I do not.

      @@30AndAWakeUp Yes, I followed the link to her web page and bookmarked it. It sounds like a lot of money but, you have to keep in mind that to get a "non" O retirement Visa you have to show monthly income or $25,000 USD (in a Thai bank) + you have to have those records constantly up to date (I believe) every time you go to immigration. This sounds like a much less painful experience.

      It's definitely not for everyone. I look at the 20 year Thai Elite Visa I have like a new truck purchase. No one bats an eye in the US when someone spends 40-50k on a new truck that will be worthless in 10 years. This Thai visa is a new truck for me, except it cost less and is worth something for 20 years. I paid money for a depreciating asset that gives me exactly what I wanted: the freedom to come & go as I please in Thailand until 2041. For me it was a great purchase, for others it'd probably wouldn't be.

      Elite visa client dont have to be a good entrepreneur, one can be international criminal and still able 2 get this visa, if interpole were reaching Thailand gonna transfer their client to the third country so costomer can be safe and sound. And of course if client like to come back they have to change their identity first and pay again wouldnt be so hard. Welcome to Thailand.

    For those $ figures, you can have a maid, driver and a buttler for 5 years. What a rip off!

      Each person has to evaluate whether it's right for them. Obviously not right for you. That's ok...plenty of room in the world for different strokes for different folks. Take care.

      @@30AndAWakeUp well I looked at it - $20k USD for 5 years isn't *that* bad $4k per year. I just think it's a tad too much vs the yearly visa hassle. It's over 600k baht, which you know goes a long way in Thailand.

      @@stangoodvibes Absolutely but it's all relative. For some people 20k is a lot of money for others it's not. The 20 year at 30k comes out to around 120 a month, so that might make more sense to someone financially. But I totally get what you're say. It doesn't make sense for a lot of folks.

      I understand that some feel that way. Value is no doubt subjective. I look at the 20 year Thai Elite Visa like others may look at a new truck purchase. No one bats an eye in the US when someone spends 40-50k on a new truck that will be worthless in 10 years. This Thai visa is a new truck for me, except it cost less and is worth something for 20 years. I paid money for a depreciating asset that gives me exactly what I wanted: the freedom to come & go as I please in Thailand until 2041. For me it was a great purchase, for others maybe not.

      @@30AndAWakeUp I don't know if the truck metaphor applies here. It would depend on what other countries charge for a Visa. I understand that it's a relatively poor country. Reminds me of an old Flintstones episode were they learn Judo. Golden level and Diamond level Judo plans.

      @@gregorywilson2124 If you want a long term visa in Asia...you really only have two options: Go through lots of paperwork and hassle regularly or pay to not have to deal with that. I chose to pay not to deal with that. The money isn't really an issue for me and Im ok with paying for the ease of use and convenience it provides. For others, cost might be prohibitive and it wouldn't make sense.
