@James *******

in that case no questions in this group..? You dont know what tomorrow brings..

As it is right now you can renew a Elite Visa also in 5 years.. Can they change it? Yes.. but there is clear guidlines in place.. and since no one could answer my question, as there are clearly no official guidelines, maybe my question wasn't as bad as a lot of people sitting around bored apparently thinks.

@Felipe ********

You don't need to.

In the rest of the world it is very normal to have very clear rules about visas and what your options are.

If I had asked the same question regarding Elite visas, you would probably have been able to answer without your crystal ball.

@Wannikea ********

I see. When you compare the prices of an Elite Visa, which is valid for +5 years, with the price of international schools in BKK which is per year. Then the Elite Visa price is not even that bad.

But it is nice to know that you have that option if you cannot extend your DTV after 5 years..

I'm not going to Thailand to conquer Soi Cowboy.

But I'm going to Thailand with family and a child who will be in an international school. -Why it is nice to know if you can stay before you move.
