Hi, my elite visa is finishing in February, I'm 44, Australian, I'm married to a Thai and want to switch to a non o based on marriage.
I have the required 400k in the bank for a long time now.
I have yellow book, Thai ID, drivers licence and bank accounts.
My question is;
Using a visa service can I forgo having to leave and apply in loas, and if so, can I get my visa through kalasin where I live.
I'm just being lazy and not wanting to deal with immigration in loas.
Thanks in advance.
