Japanese members with the Thailand Elite<\/h2>\r\nThe number of Japanese people living in Thailand is approaching 100,000, making Thailand\u2019s the 4th<\/sup> highest population of Japanese outside of Japan itself (after the United States, China and Australia).\u00a0 The number of Japanese members with the Thailand Elite is increasing each year.\r\n

What sort of Japanese nationals are coming to live in Thailand long term?<\/h2>\r\nThere are several sources for this Japanese exodus.\u00a0 Large Japanese corporations or government organizations send a large proportion of people as expatriates.\r\n\r\nA second smaller group is individual business people or entrepreneurs who feel that they have a better chance of setting up their business and opportunities in Thailand than in their more expensive Japanese homeland.\r\n\r\nMore recently young people working in Japanese contact centres and other business process outsourcing firms providing Japanese-language services are a significant number.\u00a0 Plus digital nomads, increasingly compose a percentage of these Japanese expatriates shifting to Thailand.\r\n\r\nLastly, there is a significant group of investors, particularly in real estate, who have relocated to Thailand.\u00a0 This is not just those who are investing in Thailand itself, but financiers with interests regionally across South East Asia who choose to base in Bangkok.\r\n

What are the supports for Japanese people in Thailand?<\/h2>\r\nThe Japanese Trade Centre in Bangkok has made a big difference as many Japanese companies see it as a very powerful support.\u00a0 Couple this with the opportunities they see in Thailand and the forces become clear.\r\n

Why are so many Japanese coming to Thailand?<\/h2>\r\nThere are several other less apparent key factors in talking to all these groups.\u00a0 First, Thailand\u2019s relatively low cost of living means that, even with a lesser salary than they might receive in Tokyo, they can actually have a better lifestyle.\u00a0 They particularly cite apartment rental where they can afford a 4, 6 or even 8 times larger apartment in Bangkok.\r\n\r\nOther concerns are better weather, a more relaxed environment without the social pressures of Japan, the ease of regional travel and the variety of things to see and do.\u00a0 In this last respect the proliferation of golf courses around Bangkok and the Japanese obsession with the sport are a consideration for many.\r\n

Why is there a surge in popularity of the Thailand Elite Visa among Japanese?<\/h2>\r\nAn interesting development over the last few years is the growth in the numbers of these Japanese gaining their residence visas through the Thailand Elite program.\u00a0 Today a startling 10 % of all Thailand Elite Visa holders, originating from around the world, are from just one country - Japan.\u00a0 Further, the number using the Thailand Elite Visa is growing by the hundreds each year.\r\n\r\nThey see the Thailand Elite program as being good value for money; they like the Japanese language support; and they hear from many compatriots about the advantages.","Second_Image":"","second_paragraph":"

What is the Thailand Elite Visa?<\/h2>\r\nThis visa offers residency in Thailand for a period of 5 to 20 years with benefits, in exchange for a membership fee of at least THB 600,000 (USD 17,000 at the time of writing). The authorities grant your visa for periods of 5-years and it is renewable.\u00a0 It allows unlimited multiple entries.\r\n\r\nFor travellers, the Thailand Elite Visa offers VIP greeting and escort on arrival and departure by Personal Assistants on international flights, as well as exclusive Fast Track immigration and passport control upon arrival and departure.\u00a0 Plus, there are complimentary round-trip limousine transfers (for selected programs) and complimentary use of Miracle arrival and departure lounges.\r\n

Does the Government provide a concierge program to assist Japanese?<\/h2>\r\nThere are also extensive Government concierge services for business networking & immigration services. They can also help with facilitation of Thai driver\u2019s license and Thai bank account opening with a foreign currency.\r\n\r\nThere is no requirement with the Thailand Elite Visa for medical insurance and membership gives substantial special discounts at selected partners such as duty-free shops, hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls.\r\n\r\nJapanese speaking customer support staff is available at the Thailand Elite support centre, one of the most attractive elements. This is both a valuable tool and a huge reassurance to many.\u00a0 Whatever the situation they can reach someone who speaks Japanese fluently to act and assist.\r\n\r\nTo find out more about the Thailand Elite Visa, please visit www.thaielite-express.com<\/a> or our newly launched Japanese website https:\/\/thaielite-express.com\/ja\/<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThaielite Express<\/a><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0has been an authorized General Sales and Services Agent since 2013.
