What are the requirements to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for Thailand?

@Julien ********

, you are confusing two completely different things.

BEFORE 2015 you could apply for double and even triple entry tourist visas at the various thai consulates.

BUT

On Friday 13 November 2015 they started offering tourist visas only two ways a single entry and a 6 month METV <-multi-entry tourist visa. That was also the time that most consulates (especially ALL of the consulates in S/E Asia) put a residency requirement on the 6 month METV meaning you had to legally reside in the country you were applying for the METV in.

The Thai consulates in Australia are the ONLY consulates nearby that do not have the residency requirement. Other than them you would need to go back to the country your passport comes from to get a 6 month METV.

Need to apply for in your home country. Check your local embassy website as the rules change slightly depending on which one you go to.

MeTV have been affect for almost three years now.

I guess you applied years ago for the double or triple entry tourist visa, this visa does not exist anymore and is replaced with the 6 months valid Multiple Entry Tourist Visa. You can apply for this visa in your country of residence or as far as we know Perth Australia, as the only consulate without the residence requirement.

Metv are only like a year old, they didn't exist 10 years ago. Check your country's Thai embassy website.
