METV VISA For Thailand in Laos process. 🫡

I got myself METV VISA, APPROVED today. It is electronic, 20k show at airport, 5k application fee, 24-48 hour approval. All uploaded documnets must be clear, shows your name with your finances. Financial proof will have to be in collage format.

Print out your payment paperwork (Very important/ will have barcode. Show at payment counter). You *MUST* have Thai Baht. You *WILL* get turned away from counter and must re enter line without the print out. Your phone evidence won't suffice. Your approval letter with barcode is your electronic vis passport.

Your approval letter will more than likely come between 9 and 11 a.m. lol perfect time for a extended day if you miss the email before checkout time. So book hotel a day short. Important they switched everything electronically. You won't need to go back to the counter to get any stamps, pay extra fees or anything. I know gpt says to, but it's false. Print out your approval letter and that barcode is what immigration will scan. I will update if they can scan the code on the phone.

I have my electronic OA visa. Will have copy printed out when I travel to BKK. Will immigration attach copy to passport?

I just got my DTV eVISA approved and sent to my email (PDF). Valid from 17/05/2025 to 16/05/2030!!!

2. Docs check 30th apr 2025

3. Additional proof requested 2nd may 2025

4. Pending approval 13th may 2025

5. Approved 17th may 2025

Less than 20 days.

Hi Everyone,

I am curious to know if your DTV visa is approved do you need to submit your passport to the embassy or is it an electronic visa so no need?

I ask this as I am working remotely in Papua New Guinea and would normally apply through Australia but I won’t be in Australia during this time and plan to be back with a stop over in Singapore and then on to Phuket on the 18/12/2024.

I’m an Australian expat that has lived in Thailand for the last 15 years but this is a new one for me and have always had a Non O Spouse visa multiple entries but that is no longer available.

Thanks for your help.

Has anyone from the US recently applied for the electronic 1-year visa "stamp"? I'm wondering how long the wait is. I submitted electronically to the embassy in DC.
