TLDR : Answer Summary
The post shares the experience of an individual returning to Thailand after a lengthy absence of 10 months, during which they faced challenges with securing their visa, including three attempts. They ultimately obtained an elite visa amidst the complexities of misinformation from the Thai embassy in Jakarta. The conversation includes congratulatory remarks from other users, discussions about the financial costs associated with the elite visa, and insights into the process of obtaining a visa during the pandemic.

it’s not a visit. I’ve lived in Phuket for 5 years. I went away to do paperwork for a marriage for five days in March never to be able to return until now

Elite VISA price is going up . they will take care of 90 days visa . But visa extension every year , you have to go there by yourself and do it . Visa application 1900 or if you pay extra 2000 b for using elite visa staff . It means you will skip long queue. You will be there only 5 mins than VISA done . πŸ‘
