  1. Hello, I am French 36, I had a ED visa for one year then my school (because of covid situtation) could only help with a volunteer visa (via another province). I am now under covid extension and I was planning to get an elite visa so I don't have to worry about immigration headaches anymore. However, A French-Thai lawyer specialized with Thai Elite visa is advising me that "currently" the Thai Elite has a stand on people who had a volunteer visa in their passport (even expired) and will deny the Elite Visa for them all. The lawyer is telling me that I have to make a new passport otherwise I might loose the entire membership fee during the process. I find it nearly impossible that someone could keep the full membership fee without providing the visa in the end to which the lawyer answered : 1 - send the thai elite request 2 - immigration checks and approves or denies 3 - if approved, payment and letter of confirmation 4 - appointment with Thai Elite to apply the visa. Thai Elite can refuse to provide the visa at this point and not pay back the fully paid membership. This lawyer managed to scare the hell out of me. She even confirmed right after this that "thai elite confirmed their stand on ex-volunteer visa to her". So according to her: I must do a new passport or I will very likely loose all my membership fee of 600K thb (not because of immigration but because of Thai Elite). I find this very surprising and nearly impossible but maybe the lawyer knows something else that is going on right now. Has anyone seen someone with a similar experience ? Can someone confirm if yes or no there is something going on now against volunteer visas at Thai elite level ? is it even possible that they keep the membership fee or my lawyer is just inventing stories ? should I make a new passport to avoid any problem ? Thank for your help guys, this is very stressfull for me, my current covid extension will expire soon and I even hear stories that I might not be able to come back...
