ORIGINAL POSTER
hey guys, I want to apply for the Elite Visa. I am currently in Germany and want to go back to Thailand end of September. How do I apply from outside of Thailand and has the fee to be paid at once or annually? I am a bit confused because there are a couple of websites offering the Elite Visa. Thanks for your help :)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice on applying for the Thailand Elite Visa from Germany and is confused about the application process and payment. Several comments provide insights: it's possible to apply via a Thailand website and wire transfer the full fee upfront for the desired visa duration. Personal visits to Thailand on a different visa to meet officials can also help clarify the process. Advice includes checking with the Thai embassy in Germany and comparing options provided by different websites.

Do it on the website. You have to wire transfer all the money at once. They will affix your visa in your passport when you arrive, or if you come here on a tourist visa, they will affix at immigration. The process takes 1-2 months, so you better apply now to save yourself some hassle.

Garrett Greenwald That’s awesome. Back when I did it, they didn’t have a CC option. With the right credit card, you could rack up enough points to pay for your flight. I’d definitely do that over wire transfer if it’s available.

The office is at the Swampy airport. But , since you are OUT of TH , I would suggest you once coming down here on a T visa and meet officials personally and clear all obfuscations.
