I do not know how much the investment amount for the Pattaya project requires. But if you buy into that project and receive the Elite visa, you can remain in Thailand long term without leaving the country to apply for a new visa. You may also invest in other condo projects anywhere in Thailand.

@Saeed *****

Because that was the project where Thailand Elite made special arrangements with the developer to offer visa privileges in conjunction / partnership with the property...

You can indeed, but it will not earn you any visa privileges.

IF you go the Investment Visa route @ 10 MB, the Condo must be brand new and purchased from the developer directly, buying second-hand will not qualify.

Thailand Elite has a condo project in Pattaya, which will get you a visa if you buy in, but you are restricted to the one project in Pattaya, ONLY. But IF you applied for a Thailand Elite visa, you can remain here long term and buy ANY condo(s) you like in Thailand.

We've all overstayed at one time or another, just be careful and don't get caught outside, because if you do, then you will be jailed!

Was your son born out of wedlock?

Fake flights = Fraud, if you are found to be engaged in fraudulent activities on your visa application, you could find yourself in serious trouble and banned from using that embassy again.

@Scott *******

It is NEVER recommended to intentionally overstay your visa, regardless of what you may have heard from "others", including the lady at Immigration. IF you should get caught at a police checkpoint on an overstay, you would be in a boat load of trouble!...and some embassies plus Thailand Elite do take exception to visitors that overstay. Safe travels Sir!

Not often, but yes!
