TLDR : Answer Summary

A user, holding dual citizenship from the UK and USA and currently under an Elite/Privilege visa on their USA passport, inquires about the feasibility of obtaining a marriage visa using their UK passport to enable work in Thailand. Various comments highlight that one cannot legally hold multiple visa types, emphasize the necessity of a work permit for employment, and discuss previous instances of similar visa situations.

Yes, you need that company or own company If I'm not wrong, when married need only 2 staff if it's your own company

The marriage visa still requires you to have a work permit so why not do things legally instead of trying to dodge the law

In the past i did read that the Elite visa can be kept next to a non B/wp situation. The Elite visa will be not active but not voided.

I remember Tod Daniels did write about this.
