Should I apply for a 6-month METV or 2 x 3-month SETV visa for Thailand?

Hey I just got mine in London a couple of weeks ago but the lady at the counter was super strict on every single requirement. She refused several people in front of me and made me come back 3 times the same day. I had the money 6 month in my savings account and the official statement from the bank but they insist that the money is in you current account. So I had to move it and get another statement and letter from the bank on the same day. So obviously the money then wasn't in my current account for 6 month. But yes if she denies you on the day she will tell you to apply for single entry instead.

As Jon said above, the money was there for about 4 months but I sent all 6 months worth of statements.

I sent mine in the post last Wednesday morning and it was returned on Friday with the METV 👍🏻

Also don't forget you need to be employed so you'll need a letter from your employer. If your self employed, they want certified accounts.

yea I'm sending mine in a few weeks

it means a bank statement showing 6 months of transactions and the money been in the account for 6 months. Wether they accept it being there less than 6 months, is up to them.

Remember if your applying in London, it isn't a same day service. It requires 2 trips. 1 to submit and 1 to collect.

I read something that said 6 months statements or one stamped by your bank, I'm going to try with the stamped statement

Yeah, it's also more convenient that way - you just head to the border every 60 days. Plus remember you can, in effect, get almost 9 months out of an METV (i.e. you re-enter the country 1 day before the visa expires, which gives you 60 days, which you can then extend by a further 30 days at immigration)
