Annual Visa Extension for Thailand Elite Members

Even though your Thailand Elite visa is valid for 5–20 years (depending on your tier), each entry grants a maximum 1-year stay permission. If you remain in Thailand continuously for more than 1 year, you must apply for an annual extension.

You can apply for your annual extension up to 30 days before your current stay permission expires. We strongly recommend applying at least 2 weeks before the expiry date to avoid any issues. Do not wait until the last day — immigration offices can be busy, and delays may result in overstay.

1. Prepare all required documents (same as stay extension guide). 2. Visit the immigration office nearest to your registered address. 3. Submit the TM7 form with documents. 4. Pay THB 1,900 in cash. 5. Have your photo taken and fingerprints scanned. 6. Receive the new 1-year stay extension stamp. The extension date starts from your current expiry date, not the date of application.
