You should submit your application 1 month before you arrive in Thailand since it takes 1-2 month for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do the criminal background check. I'll send you a pdf of the application process and timeline
Todd Yowell Yes, the 800,000THB requirement for the elite visa is the COST of the visa. The 800,000THB requirement for the Non OA is the amount that must be held in a bank account. And the requirement for the Non OX is a deposit of 3 million or 1.8 million PLUS annual income of 1.2 million, with 1.5 million staying in the bank at all times. You can withdraw this money, but if you go less than 1.5 million you will encounter problems with your visa, so best to only do this if you plan on canceling your visa and not returning to Thailand (or sorting out a different visa)
