Please report back if you are successful in getting a SETV back to back with the METV.

Good luck.

they might (as in maybe) let you slide on your "proof you're going to enter thailand"

BUT they will hammer you for proof of onward travel in 60 - 90 days, I'd definitely buy some ticket that shows you leaving thailand and going to another country like a bus ticket form Bangkok to Siem Reap or something

@Pat ********

you are slightly confused about "land entries"

You can enter thailand by land with a valid VISA in your passport as many times as you want to.

What you are thinking of is the TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land you can do in a calendar year (meaning you DON'T have a visa in your passport and you get in free for 30 days)

‎

You're not gonna get a tourist visa from there without proof you're entering thailand AND that you're leaving thailand in 60-90 days.

Requirement copied from their website:

2. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED

Passport or travel document with validity not less than 6 months

Visa application form completely filled out;

Recent( 4 x 6 cm.) photograph of the applicant;

Consular officers reserve the right to request additional documents as deemed necessary.

3. VISA FEE

40 USD per entry (Visa fee may be changed without prior notice)
