The Thailand Elite Visa is a long-term visa given to the Thailand Privilege Card members.

Thai Retirement Visa
The Thai Retirement Visa is a type of long-term Thai visa popular among retirees aged more than 50 years old. To obtain a Thai retirement visa, the applicant must obtain an initial visa called a Non-immigrant O visa. It is valid for 90 days and it can be issued by the Thai consulate or embassy from the country of residence or it can be issued in Thailand. Once the applicant receives this visa, he/she must open a bank account in Thailand and transfer the required funds of 800,000 THB. After 2 months, the applicant may convert to a retirement visa which is valid for 1 year. This type of retirement visa does not require a criminal background check, medical certificate, and health insurance. The extension of stay will be issued at the local immigration office of the applicant.
Thai Marriage Visa
The Thai marriage visa is best suited to foreigners who are married to a Thai national. The marriage must be registered or reported in Thailand in order to obtain the visa. The application starts by obtaining the non–immigrant O visa from the Thai embassy or consulate abroad or in Thailand. After obtaining the non-immigrant O visa, the applicant may convert this visa into a 1-year marriage visa at the local immigration office. The applicant will be required to meet the financial requirement of having 400,000 THB savings in a Thai bank account or having 40,000 THB monthly income transferred into a Thai account or verified by the foreign embassy of the applicant. The marriage visa is valid for 1 year and it can be renewed annually in Thailand.
The 1-Year Non-Immigrant Thai visa is issued to foreigners who wish to obtain a long-term visa to stay in Thailand. The issuance of this visa mainly depends on the purpose of the application. This type of visa is valid for use within one year from the date of issue and can be extended to 3 months on or before the visa expiration date.
However, this visa type is only issued by a Thai Embassy or Consulate abroad. This visa cannot be issued inside Thailand. It requires the visa holders to exit and re-enter Thailand every 90 days by air, sea, or land travel.
