Thai Visa in Cebu, Philippines?

I have googled my a** off and can only find old information about the embassy in Cebu. Anyone recently got a SETV in Cebu?

yes, thanks so much for your response. I will not depend on that location for a quick visa turnaround.

, Yes, I was just there and was denied a Visa. They said they can only issue a SETV if the applicant did not spend more than 90 days in Thailand in that same year.

However, the consul was super nice and communicated a lot with the embassy in Manila to try to issue me a visa nonetheless.

Despite having more than enough funds, they additionally wanted an invitation letter from a Thai resident. When I provided that, they asked for a letter of employment. When I told them I have my own business (in Europe), they wanted to see financial statements of my company. At that point, I did not proceed.

Having said that, I think if you have spent less than 90 days in Thailand this year, getting a visa will not be an issue. But bring enough time with you. It might take a week to get a visa.

The Typhoon hit in the north. Probably ok aside from rain in Cebu.

Take care if you there, if not check the weather forecast. Philippines are getting hit by a typhoon at the moment, not the best place to visit.
