You can apply for as many as you like. Whether they are granted, and whether immigration will honour them us another matter. Unfortunately there's no hard and fast rule. If immigration believes you are attempting to live long term in Thailand on short term tourist entries, you could run into problems. Probably better to get the METV from your home country, which will give you up to nine months in Thailand with two strategic border bounces.
Really only worthwhile if you're staying within easy reach of a border. In Bangkok it's a full day trip to the closest border at Poi Phet and back, leaving at 4.30am. Personally I'll take a book and sit in the air conditioning at the immigration office
Yeah. Good idea. You actually believe that a 10,000 baht visa will be better than the 900,000 baht visa offered by elite visa? Excuse me whilst I ROFL!
A friend of mine sought information from the Elite Visa management and they informed him their advice is it will only be 180 days in any calendar year.
Unlikely it will be 180 days per entry, as nobody would ever buy the elite visa. I read it as 180.days per year over five years and can then be extended one time at the end of the five years for a further 180 days
