How can I manage to cancel my METV visa to apply for a DTV visa?
How to manage cancel a valid visa? I have a METV issued by Beijing, and they said they cannot cancel it. But I want to apply DTV now…
Answer summary
The user is seeking guidance on canceling a valid METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) issued by Beijing to apply for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). The discussion reveals that cancellation of the METV may not be possible and suggests that the user will need to wait for the METV to expire before applying for the DTV. It is noted that both visas are issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and cannot be held simultaneously. If the user is in Thailand, they may cancel at a local immigration office; if abroad, at the issuing embassy.

Most foreigners and visitors of Thailand do not speak Thai, so I explain the rules in English, which is not my native language.As you missed some classes, this is special for you:

Thanks, I use google translate it was easier to understand you but you should write in Thai as you are Thai immigration expert. This is DTV group, not SETV/METV group, I don't know if it's possible to still have a physical sticker for METV or not but it is for DTV. Original advice still stands, apply at different embassy and possibly get a new passport.Robert *******

Do you really think visas and passports are not linked?

@Greg *******
Why is it you need to bring your e-visa with you when you fly in? And why is it people are being given tourist exceptions when they have phyiscal stickers in their passport and immigration officer doesn't see it?Ying *****
OPI have six months tourist visa and when I came in they gave me exempt.

@Sam ********
I stand and look at the screen regularly (i'm not an IO). theres no field to tell them. There are ways to tell looking at ti though. Your records come up when the scan the eMRTD and based on hostory they can see.Sam *********
@Ash***
My friend literally has work permit and business visa for 5 years, he came back from a holiday this year and they gave him a visa excempt. He didn't even bother to look, got 30 days overstay and had to go out and fix it. BUT THEY'RE LINKED!?!?Greg ********

@Greg *******
I did a bounce couple weeks ago and they were argueing with me about giving me another visa excempt because they didn't see my DTV sticker on the first page... This was after they scanned my passport, they had no idea what visa I had there is no way it's linked, some expert you areGreg ********
@Fa**
Mistakes happen. As a visa expert you really do not know how immigrstion systems and passports work - have you ever travelled?? *****

All metv stickers already expired. It is not possible to get a sticker with the metv since 1 of January
Greg ********
Looks like you need to wait until the METV expires.

OPI’ve already applied in Lao. Am in Lao now 😿

@Ying ****
Good luck. Hope it goes well.

I doubt you'll be able to move to a DTV if they refuse to cancel your METV. You could apply with immigration in Thailand for another type of Non-immigrant visa but DTV is a tourist visa as the METV; both are controlled and issued by the MFA.
Ying *****
OPBut it is inappropriate because I can submit a new one online. It is supposed to be process 😿

@Ying ****
You can try but you may get denied. I've seen some posts here of people on METV who got refused.Ying *****
OPI’ve submitted. 🥹

IF you are inside Thailand, you cancel the visa at your local Immigration Office,
IF you are abroad, you cancel the visa at the Embassy where it is issued.
IF you are abroad, you cancel the visa at the Embassy where it is issued.

Immigration can't cancel visa ka and embassy won't either ka.Ying *****
OPDo you have such case like mine? Will they process my dtv application?

@Robert ******
Immigration will not cancel the E-Visa ka they can only cancel current visa and stamp you to exit within 7 days ka but he will come back on same problem... He's also not in Thailand ka.

@Ying ****

OPUp to 45 days, I heard from ppl at front of the thai embassy. But officially embassy shows it takes 2 weeks
Ash ****
@Ying ****

@Robert ******

You Cannot cancel. Also you need it to be expired before can apply DTV. as you cant hold two visas at same time
