Hello. I wonder if you could offer me some guidance please. I am a UK passport holder currently in Australia until the beginning of September. I want to appy for a 6 month multiple entry visa for Thailand, if that's possible, to visit family. My passport is valid until 2032. When I googled the requirements it said I need an itinerary and to show evidence of a return flight. I'm not exactly sure where I plan to go to after Thailand at this moment in time as I'm recently retired and enjoying the freedom of choosing where to visit/live. Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A UK passport holder currently in Australia is seeking to apply for a 6-month multiple entry visa (METV) for Thailand to visit family. They are unsure about the specifics required, such as providing an itinerary and evidence of a return flight. Comments indicate that a METV can typically be obtained only from a home country, but some individuals have managed to secure it while traveling. Alternatives like obtaining a 60-day visa while in Australia were also suggested.

Are you planning to stay 6 months at a time, if not fly in get 60days visa exempt, extend that 30 days in BKK, 1900bht. fly to KL or Elsewhere then do the same again.

@Shirley ******

just to be clear, it's not called a 60 day exempt visa. It's not a VISA - it's called a "Visa Exempt Entry" , meaning a visa is not required. If you're from one of the 90+ approved countries you get a free 60 entry stamp (no VISA) with just your passport.

You can only get a METV from your country of permanent residence, not while travelling

in the past we have seen it possible for a Westerner to obtain the METV multiple entry Tourist Visa in Australia. AND in fact, Ho Chi Minh City Thai Embassy just issued a METV to a visitor in Vietnam.

"they did indeed get a 6 month METV for someone thru HCMC without that person living long term in vietnam "

Yes under the Evisa online application system. HCMC just issued one. To our surprise on this Thai Visa Advice forum.
