Oh you are using an agent for the condo rental, i see. What province are you in? I was not asked for rental agreements on an ED visa. Not until I changed to retiree.

why are you using an agent if you are doing an ED visa? Typically the school will work with you to get the visa items sorted out.

Also you cannot change from Education visa to Elite visa until 3 years after your Education visa has expired. Don't know why, but that's the rule as I understand it.

LTR or Elite are your best options for long term stay in the Kingdom before age 50 or before marriage to a Thai national.

yeah sorry, i was thinking about both requirements combined.

depends on the office. My first one they required the 800k matured for 2 months before application, a bank book updated on the day of application, a printout of the last 2 months of bank activity signed by the bank on the day of the application, documentation that all the 800k came from overseas signed by the bank, a rental agreement, a TM30 filed, the application itself, my passport, and my physical presence at the immigration office... i think that's all but i might be forgetting something.

Go to the office and ask them, and take a thai speaking friend with good english with you
