Can a letter of invitation and financial support substitute for the financial requirements of a METV for my girlfriend?

METV visa types Non-O Visa financial requirements letter of invitation Thailand immigration expat advice car export permit

ORIGINAL POSTER

I have just started to consider the possibility of an METV for my gf who is currently in the Philippines for about 6 months or more,  instead of our previous SETV which got rather over used.

We travel frequently by car to Malaysia, Laos , probably Singapore later on,  and India on the new trans highway(day dreaming), so the METV and my Multiple re-entry permit for myself plus the temporary export permit for our car would be a great option for us.

On her own she would not meet the financial requirements so I need to know if a letter of invitation and financial support based on my Non O Visa based on retirement would substitute for the financial requirements for the METV.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is considering applying for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for their girlfriend, who has been in the Philippines. They previously utilized a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) and want to ensure that the financial support they can provide through a letter of invitation and their own Non-O Visa (based on retirement) can meet the METV's financial requirements, as their girlfriend would not qualify independently.
