What should digital nomads know about Thailand's new Elite visa program?

So the five year card is 900,000 baht. At the moment I pay 1900 baht per year for a visa, or 9500 baht for five years, which is a difference of 890,500 baht. Wow! I'm going to need a lot of freebies to entice me! 😆

Is there a 14-day extension for a tourist visa in Thailand?

@Paul ******

I didn't actually say it has any bearing on future entries. What I did say is it can affect visa applications for other countries.

I don't know what an EC is. You still have to leave the country. Better to do a border bounce

@Jeremy *******

I'm not disputing how much you lose, I'm saying you don't get an extension. The seven days runs from the date the application is denied, it's not added onto the existing visa. Better to put the money towards a border run, much more effective and no unsavoury stamp in your passport

@Jeremy *******

Which is why I said "technically". You pay for an extension which is not approved and you forfeit the 1900 baht. Amounts to the same thing but you get an unsavoury stamp in your passport which can affect visa applications to other countries. Russia for example will not issue a visa to someone who's been denied a visa in another country

@Jeremy *******

Technically not. You pay 1900 baht for an extension, which is denied, so you lose the 1900, and are directed to leave the country. It's non-negotiable and you cannot move onto any other visa once that denial is issued
