What is the process and experience for applying for a Thai Elite Visa?

Thomas ********************

As you probably know by now, the application phase will take a few weeks. After that comes the payment phase. You will have three months complete that. I think I would take some time to be sure that you'll be able to enter. Combine talks with the Elite office and your Thai embassy/consulate.

Can I apply for another tourist visa or extension in Thailand after entering on a VOA and extending it for 30 days?

Thomas ********************

You mean arrived on visa exemption? In general, no.

But I believe at the moment you can get another extension with an embassy letter saying you can't return home.

Or, a medical extension with a letter from a doctor.

Ok. Seems a new "feature". Again, my experience was like a year ago. They only talked about ED visa as an option for me. Which I wasn't interested in.
