Apply, yes. Will they be approved? We only know of two countries where the embassies will approve METV applications for non-residents. That's Laos and Vietnam.

Vin Gadjo Try reading my response again. I'm not talking about the EU. I'm warning that it will probably be denied because they are not applying in Vietnam or Laos, as those are the only countries we know of that will do it.

Unlikely you will get a METV from any EU Thai Embassy

It depends. Are they resident in whichever European country it is they want to apply from? Many consulates in Europe require you to be a resident, not just a visitor, so it would help if you stipulated which country.

Yes...look at the Thai Embassy or Consulate website for the country where you are now for their Thai Visa requirements for the METV multiple entry tourist visa.

Submit your application using the Evisa online application system.

Stay in the country where you applied until the decision is known.

Which country are you now in?

How long will you be in that country?

then your friend needs to carefully examine the Thai Embassy or Consulate in Germany for their requirements for the METV multiple entry tourist visa.
