What are the challenges and requirements for obtaining an 'M' Visa (Media) in Thailand?
Someone here, with a “M” Visa (Media) or any experience getting it? I Need some advice thank you.
Answer summary
The M visa for media has become increasingly difficult to obtain due to tightened regulations following political changes in Thailand. Applicants typically need to be sponsored by a media agency registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and recognized by the Public Relations Department (PRD). It is recommended to consult the One Stop Service Center Immigration office in Cham Churi Square, Bangkok for detailed information. Existing visa holders may find it easier to secure extensions under the right conditions.

OPThank you guys. Do you think I can enter through the M visa category if a company overseas want to produce advertising or media to promote Thailand as a travel destination? 🧐

Todd is correct..I used to have a Cat M but I moved to a different extension years ago to get out from under the governments thumb.
You will first need to be employed by a media agency that is registered with the MFA and recognized and in good standing with the PRD.
I haven't seen many new Visas issued of late.. but those that are already here on extensions have been able to get new extensions provided they meet all the requirements and produce the documents.

That is a TOUGH visa to get anymore (they really cracked down on it during the previous coup) and it has not gotten any easier to get
They are issued thru the One Stop Service Center Immigration office at Cham Churi Square in Bangkok
The people there would be who you would talk to about one if you're IN thailand.
