Hoping to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa.
I am already in Thailand, but plan to leave and return. Won't be in my home country (UK) any time soon though. Can I apply for a METR online via the UK embassy e-visa scheme, and use a false UK to Thailand flight ticket in the application, and then arrive back into Thailand with the approved visa via another SE Asian country? Seems crazy to fly all the way back to the UK to then go through a process that is entirely online anyway....
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is in Thailand seeking to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) without returning to the UK. They inquire if it's possible to apply via the UK embassy's e-visa scheme and consider using a fabricated flight ticket for their application. Community responses emphasize that official procedures typically require applicants to apply from their home country's embassy, and while some shared experiences suggest flexible interpretations of the application process, concerns about violating immigration rules were prevalent. Overall, while there are differing opinions on the feasibility of their plans, the consensus leans towards caution regarding potential repercussions of falsifying information.
