Hi,

I am coming to Thailand for 5 weeks at the end of August.

I am then back in the UK for 3 1/2 weeks before heading back to Thailand for just over 5 months, from the beginning November.

For the November trip, I was thinking that the 6 month METV would be the best visa to get.

If so, will the 3 1/2 weeks that I am back in the UK be enough time to get the visa.

TIA X

METV

Hi everyone!

I’ll be landing in Chiang Mai on August 28th, and I’m planning to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) this Friday, July 25th, through the Royal Thai Consulate in Los Angeles.

I’ve done a ton of research and feel pretty confident about the process, but since I’m handling this entirely on my own, I’d really appreciate any first-hand experiences, especially from those who’ve applied for the METV specifically through the LA consulate.

- How long did your processing take?

- Was your proof of income or financials accepted without issues?

- Any tips on documents or mailing that helped speed things up?

Thanks in advance for any insight!✨

Hi all

I will be overwintering in the Chaiyaphum area with a 6 month METV.

Would anyone happen to know if there is an office in Chaiyaphum where I will be able to get a 30 day extension after the 1st 60 days?

I am just trying to avoid doing 2 border runs.

Applying for a METV .

On all the questions I've managed to download the necessary pictures,documents and view them on the form.

While trying to download the 3 bank statements to the form and view them I get these pictures

Can click open and download link and then I can open the file.

Stupid question I think but will the embassy be able to do the same to view the statement s?

Please don't shout!

Good evening! What type of multi-entry Visa (other than DTV) is fast (hassle free) and cost efficient for those who intend to stay up to 1 year in thailand.?

What is the best Visa to apply for if I want to come out with idea to look for place to live? Area. I don’t think tourist visa with 60+ 30 will be enough time. I’ve spent 3 months there on Holliday touring the country but lool at it for living.

Thanks

Planning to stay in Thailand from September until April. Around 8 months. I plan to leave the country during this period a few times for short visits in other countrys. I spent already 30 days and 75 day this year in the country on visa exempt. Do you recommend the METV? Could that cause any issues?. Or should I better go for a DTV. Was never questioned before at immigration.

Hi everybody, a dumb question about the METV

Trying to fill the application form on the official website…plan to make 4 entries so do i have to make 4 individuals application forms???

The website is confusing, as it only allows you to upload 1 ticket plane and 2 hotels for every application form….

Thanks !!

Hello, I'm currently on a METV and was planning on applying for DTV next week, I've read many posts on this subject, and there seems to be division on the matter, some say that once DTV is issued then that automatically cancels TR and that what happened to them, some say that they were told by embassy to reapply after METV expires.

Can we get clarity on this
