I did this too and also got no reply !

but if you contact them via email and if your visa expires in the next 6 months, then you are eligible for a new sticker with an extended 6 months validity..

only if you are in the last 6 months of your elite visa before it expires...

Update to this.,,,

All good advice... I will wait to see about the agent KC used....

in the meantime I will contact TE and ask about the 6 month extension..

thanks everyone.. very helpful 

You were able to effectively get the 6th year out of your elite visa by simply doing the extension a few days before expiry ?

that would be so great !

I would be happy to pay an agent the 3,500 fee + extension fee...

could you please give me the name and contact details (email or Line) of the agent you used..

Thank you so much KC... !!!

apon success I will gladly gift you a litre bottle of white label Dewars.

I think Mae Sai are much better to deal with !

immigration officials are very hard to deal with in Chiang Rai..

they have quite a reputation amongst the expat community here

The 1900 baht extension was what I understood about the visa when I got it.

the first year I went to immigration at Chiang Rai  to do this extension they insisted this was not possible and that I had to cross the border...

As I could not win the argument with them I simply said ok and went to the border..

thanks for the 2 replies..

I will go and enquirer about this today

I have been living in Chiang Rai on a elite visa for the last 4 years and 9 months.

Each year I would do a land border crossing at Mae Sai and receive a new 12 month stamp.

My 5 year visa will expire on 8 February 2021. I could get another 1 year visa stamp simply by crossing again before the visa expires if not for COVID-19 and land borders are still closed I believe.

Does anyone know how I can get another 1 year stamp without having to fly in and out, which would be quite an expense with quarantine and insurance requirements.
