ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi, i am applying for METV E-visa from the UK.

I have applied for one before but looks like something has changed, has anyone applied for one in the last year as it looks different to what i need to upload since last year, i used to have to include my bank account details to show funds and tax statement (which i think i put for my document indicating current location), The supporting document pages i only get the following below and no other pages once i get to the submit page, little confused on this, any advise much appreciated.

Also the Intended Date of Departure, should this be within my first 60 days of arriving into Thailand?

Again any help and advice much appreciated

TLDR : Answer Summary

Comments reveal that the visa process has been simplified, with fewer requirements such as financial evidence. The intended date of departure should fall within the first 60 days of arrival in Thailand.

I got my single entry TV yesterday without having to show any financial evidence at all.

Previously they’d asked for bank statements, payslips and all kinds of nonsense.

Flights and accommodation only this time.

I`m applying for a METV and got a reply yesterday from the Thai Embassy, London that the visa process was simplified a couple of months ago.

They streamlined the eVisa process for tourist visas back in June I believe

Totally normal now to have reduced requirements
