Prior to the launch of the new Thailand Privileges Membership Package, obtaining a Thailand Elite Visa was virtually impossible if you had previously held a Thailand Study Visa (ED visa). However, with the implementation of the new Thailand Privileges Visa program, whether you are a current or past ED visa holder, you now have a chance of obtaining an Elite Visa. However, you will need to provide supplementary documentation to prove that your current or past study visas were obtained through a legal process.

This article will explain whether you can apply for a Thai Elite Visa if you currently or previously held an ED visa, and whether supplementary documents are required.

What documents are required when applying for an elite visa as an ED visa holder?

If you currently hold an ED visa (or have held one in the past), you will need to provide additional supporting documentation to be eligible for an elite visa. These documents include:

All educational documentation required for a Thailand Elite Visa application is listed in the "Education Visa Holder Confirmation Form." If you do not have this confirmation form, Siam Legal's Thailand Elite Visa consultants can provide you with a copy. The following are the documents you must obtain from your educational institution:

  • The following are types of official school establishment licenses issued by official bodies (สช.2): Office of the Basic Education Commission (OBEC) or Office of the Private Education Commission (OPEC) of the Ministry of Education.
  • You can contact the school administration and request that they send you the required documents. Inform them of the documents listed on the Education Visa Holder Confirmation Form. Once all documents are collected, please send the completed and signed form and educational certificates to our team. We will then submit all the documents as part of your application package to Thailand Privilege Card Co., Ltd. (TPC).
