New data point to consider? So one of my friends just informed me that his buddy (an American, not a PR of Malaysia) just got an METV from KL two weeks ago. Now I understand that the general consensus is that METVs are not available in SE Asia (the closest available one is from the consulate/embassy in Australia). After reading this page on Tourist Visa from the Thai embassy in KL ([members only]), I can't find anything to support the general consensus that you can't do it. In fact, it seems as long as you are from a "non-listed country" and have the supporting documents, an METV is possible. What gives?
