There are 3 options for you to obtain Elite Visa:

And yes it depends on what Visa you currently hold… (I will post that information following this)

• (Recommended) Upon Arrival at Suvarnabhumi and Phuket International Airport (Direct International Arrival Flight Only) * availability (Tourist visa is required for some nationality)

• Upon Arrival at Chiang Mai Airport (Direct International Arrival Flight Only) * availability without Elite Personal Assistant (EPA) (Tourist visa is required for some nationality)

• While staying in Thailand: you can request to obtain Elite Visa at Chaengwattana Immigration Office in Bangkok *Business days only. Depend on availability of Elite Personal Liaison (EPL)

this option necessary to have the TM.30 Form (for the Residence Notification as the responsibility from the house/building owner where you stayed with).

* For all options, please kindly inform Customer Contact Center (CCC) 5 working days in advance at +66 2 352 3000 or after receiving a welcome letter including ID number.

Con for Elite - it is expensive and the application is an annoying process and takes over a month.

Pro for Elite - after it’s done you basically never have to worry about your visa.

If you want peace of mind that is what you are buying.

@Ellie ******

thank you. We are Satun. I’ll check their policy. I wasn’t aware it was different per province

@Tod ********

one more question.

How soon after entering can one apply for a year long extension on the original 90 day non O visa? (Yes will get multiple reentry for everyone)

@Tod ********

thank you so much for taking the time to reply to all questions.

I’ll see if we can process the non B for Spanish passport from Canada 🤞. If not, will have to apply for baby Spanish passport and get this done in Spain. Much appreciated

it’s right outside the Novotel doors facing the airport. A bit to the right and across the road under parking 🙂 took me 3 times staying at Novotel to discover it too. Found it recently when the 711 inside was under repair and with Covid everything else was closed or closed far too early.

There is another convenient store that no one really knows about. Walk the underground to the Novotel hotel and it’s just opposite the hotel entrance under the parking lot. Or simply walk ground floor across the parking garage.

credited and deposited yes. To any bank. But did immigration accept it as an international transfer in the coding? Maybe they have fixed their 3rd party step in the past year.

double check. But this has been stated in many visa groups regarding Wise. As so many people encounter this problem. I checked for my visa too. But luckily they didn’t care if it said overseas (SCB and krungsri) otherwise I would have had to use Bangkok bank. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Garrett **********

which part? I use wise all the time to transfer to Thailand. Maybe it recently changed
