You can not hold 2 distinctly different visas simultaneously. You would have to cancel your non B before affixure of the elite visa stamp.

@Ellie ******

that's good advice. And at this point I feel like I need more time to sort out this jumble of yes/no/maybe so

@Tod ********

in affect I just signed a "3 month agreement" with the hotel. Given I had to pay in advance and it's none refundable. Hopefully that will get me past this residency/local address issue. I'm willing to jump through any hoop put in my path. But there needs to be a clear path. And what I've gleaned thus far is that "it depends" on what the officer on duty is willing to accept. Keep fighting as they say 😁

@Tod ********

thanks. Appreciate the input. In an effort to circumvent a potential problem when I go to CW on Monday, I changed my booking to remain at the same hotel for the next 3 months. I will sit tight there.

I'm still not clear how immigration expects me to show a lease as no one will allow me to sign a lease without a long term stamp I'm my passport.

I just arrived in-country 30 Oct. So regardless, there is no history that I can show (passed bills, etc.). And with respect to getting a hotel to provide a letter about the future... Re: that I will be there through January 2022... that just seems unlikely as they can't represent where I will actually be, but only where I plan to be. Asking someone to attest to future activities just seems problematic in it's face

I can easily go to Mukdahan and sit tight at my girlfriend's house (if that would ensure a better outcome). But I'm not clear if that means I'd need to apply for my non-O 90 in mukdahan. I was under the impression that I had to apply for the Non-O at CW.

@Ellie ******

thank you so much 🙏

Strange that they would want prior 3 months of rental receipts when in-country applicants would not typically be able to stay in-country for 3 months prior to applying for Non-O 90 day visa. Unless they where somehow on a completely different long stay visa type for 3 months prior to applying for the Non-O 90 day visa 🤔

8. Rental Agreement between the Applicant and the Landlord ; A copy of house registration. Location map of the house and a rental receipt Past three months.

I'll find out Monday 😁

@Benjamin *****

I'm not going to highjack this thread re: changes of address/location. But you do make me think. There must be a mechanism that allows one to move around THA to other jurisdictions over the course of ones tenure in THA. Maybe I'll craft a separate question for the group on that point.

@Benjamin *****

however, we would have no problem living there (Thida is already nervous about staying in BKK given the covid situation) if it makes the visa application process smoother. I guess I just have to wait and see how it goes at CW on 8 Nov when I apply.

@Benjamin *****

the other option for me would be to use my girlfriend's house address (her parents house actually; she currently lives there) in Mukdahan. I'm not sure what the implications of that approach would be on the Non-O 90 visa application process

@Benjamin *****

fingers crossed 🤞 until I have a long term stamp, I'm having problems finding a condo complex that will allow me to sign a lease.

@Ellie ******

that seems to conflict with what Benjamin Hayes indicated above in the initial response to my question
