Til de personer der måtte ønske, at vide mere om muligheden for permanent opholdstilladelse, gratis medlemskab af mere end 40 af de bedste golfbaner i Thailand og mange andre goder.

Jeg kender en pige der kan hjælpe med dette og
Hun kan kontaktes for nærmere information på flg. email addresse



Hendes navn er:

Tanya-sorn Khiencharoen ( Sandy )

Jeg kan desværre ikke sige så meget, da jeg ikke må nævne firma navne herinde i debat forum... Det er betragtet som reklame.
Jeg kan da nævne at tilbudet om permanent opholdtilladelse er målrettet for velhavende udlændinge, der er golf interesseret og ønsker at bosætte sig i Thailand. Samt en masse andre muligheder som dette tilbud giver.
Det er dog ikke billigt... men skriv til Sandy på ovenstående email addresse og hun vil give svar på alt.

Hejsa..

Yes men det havde vel været smart at fortælle at der lige skal ligges 1 mill. thb for at komme i snak med Thai Elite.....
De har svaret på min henvendelse, dog kom der en vag og ret ubrugelig svar vedr deres forkerte oplysninger om kørekort.

Bare man kunne spille golf, så skulle man måske overveje, at
blive medlem af eliten.

Mon ikke det fås på afbetaling.

---

det er jo bare at vinde en go turnering, så er den million jo hjemme.
( intet er gratis )

---

En go turnering?
Så skal du vist en tur til Japan for at vinde den slags penge

---

nu snakker vi jo thai-million, ( ca 150.000 dkk )
det får tigeren jo for at stille op i en niketrøje. pr. tunering.

---

Han får nok noget mere, men så er det GOLF, det drejer sig om, ikke GO

Det der thai elite kort troede jeg var gået på til 2 mill per medlemskab men der har været så mange ændringer der bliver vist bare dårligere medlemsfordel. ifølge deres hjemmeside så er det 1 mill.
Thaksin var sikker på at der var 1 million mennesker der ville købe det det første år, det blev vist til nogle få hundre, og mange der fik tildelt det gratis.
Man får 5 års visa multiple som kan forlænges med 90 dage vist i det uendelige.

Jeg tro jeg hele at jeg vil forsætte med et årlig visa jeg som pensionise kan faa da jeg hele ikke skal ud at landet også bruge penge til noget med fornuftig

---

Du kan forlænge det 90 dage uden at forlade landet.
men det er jo ikke en billig løsning med det kort, ikke så sært det ikke blev en susses.

---

Dette THai Elitecard program er godt for folk under 50 med penge nok (for hvem 170.000 DKK ikke er noget problem - og man kan taale og tabe det).

Er man over 50 er retirement visa som naevnt den billigste loesning(med mindre man spiller en hulens masse golf!).

Thai Elite card var Taksin's ide, og det er jo ikke gaaet saa godt med salg af samme (target 1 million, udstedt mindre end 2000 hvoraf de fleste er blevet givet vaek) saa man kunne frygte at den nye regering ville rydde op i det og stoppe samme - og refunds er ikke saerlig brugt her i Thailand!

Skaal!

Price for million baht privilege elite cards set to double

THAILAND ELITE CARDS: Price for privileges will double in 2004

BANGKOK: Expatriates will be charged Bt2 million next year for a Thailand Elite privilege card – double the present price – because they can avail of services and facilities more often than members who are foreign tourists or visiting businessmen.

“We originally intended to set the price for expatriates at Bt2 million because of the many advantages they have but in the beginning, we reduced it to Bt1 million to build customer interest,” Paisit Kaenchan, director of Thailand Privilege Card Co, said yesterday.

Applications from expatriates – foreigners residing or working in the country – will not be accepted after the end of next year to bring the proportion of expatriates down to 5 per cent of total membership from the present 20 per cent.

Paisit denied the firm was taking the measures because it was afraid of losing money. Income was sufficient to cover the Bt40,000 estimated maximum annual expense for each member, he said.

The price for foreign-based cardholders would also be raised by 20-25 per cent within two years from the current Bt1 million, as facilities and services would be improved and added, he said.

The Thailand Elite card, the brainchild of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, targets one million members in five years. However, since its November 19 launch, only some 200 cards have been sold, at US$25,000 or Bt1 million for individuals and $50,000 for juristic persons. This has forced a drastic cut in the yearend goal to 300 cards from the initial 1,000.

To achieve next year’s sales objective of 100,000 cards, the company has put together a marketing plan that includes going on a road show at least once a month to Japan, China, Korea and other countries in Asia and expanding its sales network from 20 agents at present to 30-40 firms.

Recently, the firm forged an alliance with Unicef, hoping to attract Hollywood celebrities and top executives from all over the world to become members.

“After reaching the 100,000-card level, the company will suspend recruitment of new members for six months to evaluate all services and every golf course, hotel, spa, restaurant and shopping mall participating in the programme,” Paisit said.

Proceeds from card sales are currently stashed in bank deposits but in the future an asset management company will be retained to invest its funds in the same manner as the Government Pension Fund. These idle funds represent 90-95 per cent of total reserves and the fund manager must make an annual return from investment of at least 6-7 per cent.

The remaining 5-10 per cent of reserves will be used to build or take over at least two golf clubs, a boutique hotel and a city club within two years, which will be linked to the future increase in membership fees.

Paisit explained the cardholder privileges in property investment as a form of usufruct – the right to use and enjoy the profits and advantages of something belonging to another as long as the property is not damaged or altered in any way.

Thailand Privilege Card Co, as a Thai-owned entity, retains proprietary ownership of properties that cardholders buy, but the cardholders can enjoy lifetime use of their land and properties, including renting their units out when they are not in the country.

However, cardholders do not get full commercial rights, such as to develop home or condominium projects.

“The first approval of property purchases is expected in January,” Paisit said.

Thailand Privilege Card Co would be around for a long time, not only during this government’s term, because it is a private company and has members around the world who benefit the country greatly over the long term, he said.

“I’m confident that no government would dare to close us. If anyone tries that, he’ll get sued by cardholders all over the world.”

2,000 new Elite Card users targeted in '05

BANGKOK: -- A provider of the Thailand Elite Card has announced plans to enrol 2,000 new members this year from three specific target markets.

The president of Thailand Privilege Card Co (TPC), Choksiri Rodboonpha, said the company would expand marketing activities as the firm shifts its product focus and customer base.

"The new business concept is different from the past, when we needed a large amount of members. These days we are targeting members by invitation only," he said.

The new marketing strategy will be launched in June.

Choksiri said the three membership categories include Elite Moment, which will focus on Asian customers with an emphasis on golf, shopping and spa treatments.

The second is Elite Connection, aimed at international investors, and the third is Elite Living, which is expected to attract people over 50 who wish to retire in Thailand.

The company expects that Elite Connection members will comprise 50 per cent of its base, followed by Elite Moment with 40 per cent and Elite Living with 10 per cent.

Choksiri said that 65 per cent of new membership would come from Asian markets and the rest would be from Western countries. TPC anticipates that the new members will generate membership fees of Bt2 billion.

The firm expects some

members will also make investments in Thailand, generating more than Bt23 billion this year.

"We are in talks with an Australian member who wants to invest Bt10 million in an eco-tourism business in Thailand. Another Australian will invest Bt3 billion in moulded automotive parts, while a Hong Kong member plans to start a biotechnology company with an investment cost of Bt100 million," Choksiri said.

The company currently has 824 members from all over the world. That figure is lower than previously announced expectations for the first year.

The company also revised its long-term target membership from one million to only 20,000 members for the next five years. The lowered target should allow the company to be more selective in inviting new members.

It also plans to increase the membership fee from Bt1 million to Bt5 million in 2010.

To introduce more benefits and privileges, TPC has joined with world-class hotels such as The Oriental Hotel Bangkok, The Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi Chiang Mai, Chiva-Som International Health Resort, Shangri-la Hotel and the InterContinental.

The company will also offer a three-day, two-night vacation package for US$1,000 (Bt39,500) including full-service accommodations, spa treatments, transportation and 24-hour butler service.

Last year the company earned Bt700 million from membership fees.

Their members used their Elite cards a total of 14,000 times last year, with Bt2 billion in associated revenues.

Det er vist lidt nemmere at læse oplysningerne direkte på siden:


http://www.thaila.../index.php


Der kan man også signe op for at blive Partner.


http://www.thaila...artner.php

Det er rigtigt, at man er velkommen spørge på Deres hjemmeside
Thailandelite.com
Men personer kan også spørge mig på Dansk, da jeg er repræsentant af Thailand Elite Card.
Bare for at undgå misfoståelser.

Hvis man ønsker at blive partner, er det frit for alle at søge. Jeg skal bare lige gøre opmærksom på, at der her er tale om, at blive partner ( Vendor ) altså, at man har et produkt at tilbyde. Såsom golf klub eller Spa center og ligende i Thailand.

Når kortet skal fornys efter 5 år. ... Er der kun her tænkt på selve kortet. Forny kortet med billede osv. ligesom et Visa / dankort udløber.

Man skal stadig have fornyet Visa hver 3 måned og skal for nuværende betale 1900 bath for det.
Men man skal ikke forlade landet mere.

Når man er medlem er man det for livet. Medlemskabet er skrevet på et juridisk bindende dokument og man kan sagsøge Thailand Privilege Card. Hvis man ikke mener man får det man har betalt for.

---

Ja, det havde man jo ligesom gættet.



Spørge? Det er vel bare at læse hvad der står.

Iøvrigt tror jeg at medlemmerne på dtw er den forkerte målgruppe.
Enten er vi turister som er godt tilfredse med den nuværende gratis 30 dages visumfri, eller folk der udmærket kan finde ud af at opholde sig i Thailand qva de gængse visa-ordninger uden at føle sig foranlediget til at hoste op med en million.
