Help! Applying for a (necessary) METV and have a genuine flight booking into the country but unsure when I'm booking a return trip out at the moment. Can I use one of those dummy tickets as proof of ticket out ? If not does anyone know the cheapest refundable airline ticket...this is soooo stressful! Helpful advice only please 😜🙏

Can you switch from a DTV to a Business Visa? My partner and I are planning to open a bar, but want to do a few months of intensive Thai language classes while we scope out locations and business partners before we actually need the business and spouse visa. Considering whether a tourist visa (exemption - Australian) or soft power DTV is wiser? All advice welcome.

Do i need a return flight ticket for METV ?

Hello guys.

Is there anyone know how to cancel tourist visa on line????

I have a multiple tourist visa from Laos this May, will expired at Oct. now I’m at Vietnam to apply DTV, but have to cancel that tourist visa first, I email Laos Thailand embassy, no reply yet. Is there anyone know how to do that? Cause I have to stay at Vietnam waiting for the DTV

Hello I,m in Thailand on a 6 month METV. Having done one border run to Laos my 60 days ends about 7 days before i fly back home. Can i do a 30 day extension at immigration or do i have to do another border run.Thanks

Hi! Just wondering if the authorities have started to make it a little bit easier ( less onerous) when applying for a METV? I applied on Monday night, just before midnight, UK time. Previously I seem to remember having to complete lots of boxes/info etc but this time round it really was quite a simple process. I gave my flight details,address, bank statement and proof of address. I said I wanted to stay for 60 days ( following advice online). Nothing else was asked from me. No return flight etc. I paid £150.00 and fully expected to be asked for further details. But nothing else was asked. I was actually expecting to just get a SETV. Imagine my surprise/ delight/shock when I received my METV yesterday evening! Absolutely blown away by the service. Can't wait to fly out in 2 weeks time. 🙏🎉

Is it possible to activate a METV with a border run after arriving on a visa exempt?

The case is basically that the METV is applied for but might not get issued in time. Can you fly in on visa exempt and then a week later when the evisa METV gets emailed, do a border run and then get in on that METV?

A friend plans to stay around 6 Months in Thailand and I heard if only on visa exempt, it's more difficult to stay that long, because of rejections at border runs without real visas.

Side info: he's from germany, not been in Thailand over 1 year.

Kind regards

Hi all after some advice. UK citizens who spend approx 6mths past 3 years in Thailand - although visited most years previously for shorter periods. We usually come in visa exempt and extend / border bounce / occasionally visit another country. Both got hassled separately at BKK customs last time and told too many visas - so wondering if it will be the same if we apply for the METV in UK before we leave? We'll still have to extend / border bounce to stay 6months so will still be getting more visas. We don't want to live in Thailand full time. Thanks for any helpful advice. I did search and know it was possible previously but seems customs are getting harsher 😉

Hi, I would like to extend my METV (tourist visa) for 30 days. But I'm having trouble finding infos on where to go : is it still at the mall IT Square Laski ? Or should I go the immigration Division 1 office in Chaeng Watthana ?

Thank you very much for help 🙏🏼

My 6 month multiple visit visa runs out in October so what do I have to do to renew it as I visit Thailand and Laos regularly

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
