Around 60,000 Chinese are now resident in Thailand, with an even increasing number of Chinese nationals who are already with Thailand Elite Visa membership. What is Driving This Development?\r\n<h2>Why are Chinese moving to Thailand?<\/h2>\r\nThere are several factors driving this.\u00a0 First is a level of comfort with Thai culture and vice versa.\u00a0 Almost constant Chinese immigration to Thailand for a thousand years, due to their common land border, has resulted in an estimated 10 to 14% of the population being of Chinese descent and many aspects of Chinese culture permeate Thai thinking.\r\n<h2>Is wealthy Chinese interest in investment particularly in Thai real estate a factor?<\/h2>\r\nSecond, Chinese business people can see Thailand\u2019s potential \u2013 as an investment, a manufacturing hub and as a consumer market.\u00a0 The dramatic rise in Chinese purchases of condominiums, in particular, has partly underpinned the recent real estate boom in Bangkok.\r\n\r\nNext large Chinese corporations and government organizations send a significant number of staff to Thailand. As well, individual business people and entrepreneurs move to Thailand, finding better business opportunities than in China\u2019s increasingly competitive environment.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, there are young Chinese - digital nomads, students and workers in call centres, as well as employees of Chinese commercial offshoots or Thai companies with Chinese interests.\u00a0 Plus, as always investors, both in Thailand and across Indo-China, who choose to make Thailand their base.\r\n<h2>What other factors in Thailand interest people seeking long term residence?<\/h2>\r\nWhen talking of all these groups, we must take into account several other key factors that are less apparent.\r\n\r\nFirstly, Thailand's low cost of living could bring a better lifestyle despite often a lesser salary than they could earn in China. \u00a0Apartment rental, in particular, reveals that they can get a much more luxurious apartment in Bangkok than what is obtainable on their budget in a Chinese city.\r\n\r\nMany appreciate Thailand's weather, its relaxed environment, ease of regional travel, and plethora of activities and sightseeing.\r\n<h2>What interests them in the Thailand Elite visa?<\/h2>\r\nThe result has been a huge uptick in numbers of people applying for the Thailand Elite visa with Chinese nationals being a very large group.\r\n\r\nThe visa grants residency in the country for a period of 5 up to 20 years, depending on the application, for a membership fee starting at THB 600,000 (USD 17,000 at time of writing). The visa allows multiple entries. The stipulated period is always 5 years.\u00a0 However, you can renew it when you require it.\r\n\r\nFor Chinese condo buyers there is now a special version of this visa, called Elite Flexible One.\u00a0 Purchasers of one or more units totalling THB 10 million in value receive a five-year residency visa at no charge or at a discounted rate.\u00a0 The usual cost is THB 600,000.\r\n<h2>Why do Chinese buy the Thai Elite visa?<\/h2>\r\nAll Thai Elite visa holders receive exclusive VIP treatment when entering and leaving Thailand - access to Personal Assistants on arrival and departure; fast Track immigration and passport control; complimentary round-trip limousine transfer (for selected programs); use of the Miracle arrival and departure lounge.\r\n\r\nThe card also provides discounts at shopping malls, duty free, spas, shopping and at many entertainment venues like golf courses. There is no requirement for health insurance with the Thai Elite Visa.\r\n<h2>Are the Chinese customer service staff a popular innovation?<\/h2>\r\nChinese-speaking customer service staff man the support center, providing a huge perceived advantage. They can act as interpreters or as a concierge service, helping with things like opening Thai bank accounts and foreign currency transfers, drivers licenses and even immigration requirements, as well as business networking &amp; immigration services. The service operates in Mandarin.\r\n\r\n<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/4nEHGHUKQJH1mSA26\">Thaielite Express<\/a><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0has been an authorized General Sales and Services Agent since 2013.
