for loop - bash script syntax errror

I am a beginner at unix and this is my first for loop with if statement. I am getting an error which says syntax error near unexpected token 'then'. Please can you help me fix this. What have i done wrong.

for file in $@
do
    if [[ ! -f $@ ]]
    then
           echo "Error. File does not exist."
           exit $ERROR_NO_FILE

    elif
    then
           chmod 755 $file
           echo "File permissions have been changed."
           exit $SUCCESS
    fi
done

there is an extra elif/then in the middle. Try replacing it with an else

       exit $ERROR_NO_FILE

else
       chmod 755 $file
