Thailand Elite. In fact a friend of mine who is a member did a renewal for the 20 year one and already had a valid elite visa and told her had to leave and come back to get the new one.

not what they told me. On many occasions.

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

they me can only apply inside the country if your on a tourist visa

Anthony Ryan updated thanks

New announcement 28 provinces restrictions.

@Stuart ********

yes I have never had it before. I have been here 6 years on Thailand Elite visa and need to change to retirement in July doing a border bounce and coming back on a tourist visa but that wasn't possible so ended up on amnesty. Thankfully got an embassy letter but they still didn't allow me to apply inside the country so hence and am in the situation I am now.

@Stuart ********

yes they did that the first time back in October but this one they took my passport. I will check thank you x

@Stuart ********

someone said go ten days before to apply to get another 60 days. Last time they took my passport for two weeks

@Stuart ********

do you think you can apply before the deadline even though I am stamped in until the 29th?

It's takes weeks to process so be mindful by the time you get to pay the price increase would have kicked in. The 20 year at a million bht would be the better option. They help arrange the quarantine etc but the process can still take months
