Hey gang,

I heard a rumor that American’s can get the METV at a particular embassy in Australia instead of needing to get it back home. True or false?

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, Americans can apply for the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) at Thai consulates in Australia, specifically in states like Perth and Brisbane. There are no residency requirements, but applicants need to meet financial requirements, which include showing a minimum of AUD$8,000 or 200,000 Baht.

nope, you're confusing the financial requirements for a 'retirement' visa.

The financial requirements in Australia to get a 6 month METV are AUD$8,000 or 200,000 Baht if applying for Multiple Entry Tourist Visa

look at the website of the thai consulate you're going to use in Australia for the information each one has different processing times.

It's been like that for a good while now. There is no residency requirement for foreigners to get a 6 month METV from any of the thai consulates in Australia. The closest one to Bangkok is Perth.

Meet the financial requirements and you get the visa..

here's the Melbourne requirements - non-citizens need proof of an e-visa only. Will likely be the same at the others.
