They only allow,booking on rapatriate flights now!

@Tod ********

Never mind,i went at school,learned Thai,but now will not apply for PR,start to think to sell,to pack,to move.

Have a good day Tod,my best wishes if you are stranded.🙏🏻

@Tod ********

Yes i know it already,i live there since 10 years,best solution was Elite,when i applied in emergency,after too much visa run,ED visa etc,they caught me at airport and almost fired me,and just gave me 1 month to find a solution,i regret it,that’s reality immigration life....

@Tod ********

To get a permanent resident status,it is another complicate war paperworks,and almost impossible to apply for it...100 by year and by nationalities...

As a foreigner without work permit,not a lot of possibilities to stay in Thailand when u don’t want to marry a citizen......

Will never apply again for an elite visa,yes i went in and out,in the past,but at least im out lol🙇‍♀️

I am under one since 4 years and what???

Im still stranded in Australia since 4 months,where i came to visit family.

Expansive visa with free taxi to airport,fast queue and no need to leave the kingdom every 90 days,just report it.

BUT,when a covid problem appear,and it gonna have again in the future,ELITE VISA,under gouvernement command doesnt offer any priority if you leave the Kingdom,i will be the last one in the resident queue,after work permit,married,wellness and riche tourist,student....

Think about!!

expansive,when there is a world problem,you are,for immigration ONLY A TOURIST FOR EVER,with absolutly NO RIGHTS!

Even if im a resident owner etc.....!

@Steven ***************

There is flights for foreign passport who want to leave Australia,not especially to thailand,we are allow to do it from immigration.

@Steven ***************

Im not Aussi,i can leave Australia,but the process to come back in Thailand is really complex and difficicult,there is annoncement and the real reality behind,after 4 months,Elite visa isn’t elliglible yet,its only what i see,expansive for nothing,except free taxis to airport and fast queue at immigration,i need to report every 90 days without leaving the Kingdom.

@Steven ***************

Stranded in Australia,Elite visa under governement command is a »tourist visa » when a problem like covid appear,and it will come again in the future.

@Steven ***************

Dont buy an Elite visa!!! Im under this one,and im still stranded since 4 months!

At least,i think they will change all process visas,to do their new normal Thailand.

@Todd ********

Yes, begining of march,nobody felt really concerned by covid there,at least they had few deaths,then i traveled over sea,for the birth of my first grand daughter,still stranded,now incredible paranoia,to prepare the next tourist season!

Like a resident with valid visa,house etc,im only a detail,and it is paperworks war to proove it.... totally crazy!

No i will NOT recommand to anybody to have a retirement life there,in the future,another virus will appear,time to become nationalist! Own country CAN’T fired the citizen!
