What is Thailand Elite Program?
The Thailand Elite program is a government project that, ultimately, aims to promote tourism in the country. To convince more people to come into Thailand for leisure purposes, the government created the Thailand Elite to give foreigners exclusive perks for coming to stay in Thailand for both the shortterm and the long term.
As members of the program, foreign nationals get to enjoy, for starters, a 5-year validity of their visa, which is good for multiple entries. For each entry into Thailand, you can stay up to a year without having to do the requisite borders runs you’d have to do if you held the regular tourist visa.
There are, of course, various benefits from the program that you, as Thailand’s visitor, can enjoy. Let’s continue and learn more about the perks of Thailand Elite.
