Will my recent stay in Thailand affect my METV application?

METV visa application Thai visa rules immigration long-term stay back-to-back visa 30 day extension Thailand expat advice

ORIGINAL POSTER

I'm new here, thanks for having me.

I have been to Thailand once a year for many years on a normal 30 day stay with the additional 30 days extension.

But next winter I will like to stay longer. I have already bought a flight ticket for arriving in BKK November 1st and return 29th. I will then stay home with my family in December and go back to Thailand in the beginning of January 2020. One of the first days in December I will go to the Thai Embassy and apply for a METV.

My concern is if my very recent stay in November will cause me any trouble in getting the Visa. I mean, it can hardly be called a back-to-back Visa since I'm out of Thailand for more than a month.

My arrival in January - hopefully with my METV - will be with a one-way ticket and a hotel voucher for the first one or two weeks. Will that be sufficient for the immigration authorities?
