the 1 year ones need to be extended every 3 months. Unless it has changed in the past 2 years, that is how it was for all ED visas when I studied Thai.

Either way, it's not relevant to this post as the OP is talking about a Non-O visa.

@Clarissa ****

that has been the rule before, but you never know with Thai immigration, rules change for no reason all the time.

The safest bet is to do it in person, but he can always try to do it online and see if it works first, if it's a long drive to the immigration office.

The wait depends on the immigration office, if it's not busy when you go it could take less than 15 minutes.

@Clarissa ****

then it should all be free. He can do the 90 day report online after he has done the first one at your local immigration office.

The 90 day report is free for everyone.

But, if he has an ED (student) visa, he needs to extend it every 3 months, which costs money. Even with the extension he still needs to do a 90 day report, which is free.

this is such a progressive nation 🙂❤️

Since you're paying Elite a ton of money, they should hopefully be able to answer your questions and help you with whatever process is necessary. Try emailing them.

Check your nearest Thai embassy for the entry rules for Costa Ricans.

You will need a Thai Pass along with any potential visa. The Thai pass is not a visa or entry document. It's just stupid covid bs bureaucracy.

I'm also guessing you have a visa exemption stamp and not a visa on arrival.

Same thing applies, though.

You can get a 30 day extension at immigration for 1900 baht. After that you have to leave or change to a long-term visa.
