ORIGINAL POSTER

Sorry in advance if I am repeating this question or in the wrong group.

I am a US citizen and still in the US. Want to apply for an Elite Visa. I know I can start the applications on the Elite Visa website and via emails.  

 What is the best way to  send payment? 

2.  Do I have to wait to get my passport stamp when I enter Thailand or am I able to express mail my passport to Elite Visa and get them to get the stamp place in my passport while I am still in the US?

thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the best methods for payment when applying for an Elite Visa and whether they can obtain the visa stamp in their passport before arriving in Thailand. User comments suggest that payment should typically be made online after approval, and the passport stamp is usually received upon arrival in Thailand. One commenter also mentioned using TransferWise for payment due to lower fees.

I use transferwise, quick and slightly cheaper fees for me.

You pay online after you're approved. You get stamped when you fly into the country.
