Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the DTV visa process and I hope someone can clarify this for me.
My situation is the following: I currently have an METV visa valid until December 2. My friend also had an METV, valid until November 26. She applied for the DTV visa at the embassy in Hanoi and got it approved on November 25 — even though her METV was still valid until the next day.
I just received an email from the embassy saying that I can only apply for the DTV visa after my current METV expires, and that I have to submit all my documents again once it’s no longer valid.
So my question is: why was my friend able to receive her DTV visa before her METV expired, while I’m being told that I need to wait until mine runs out? Did the embassy possibly make a mistake when issuing her visa? Or is there some rule I’m missing?
hello, question for all experts 🙂 if i arrive in bkk, take over my baggage and recheck with local airline and fly to cambodia, can i reenter under same visa exemption which i get on first “entry”? my country is visa free in thailand..? or could this be a problem and i need to apply for METV? flight would not be connected so i need to go through imigration tho..
Hello all, if i only want to stay in thailand for 6 months (i'm over 50), could i just ask for a non-o visa twice ? I don't want to open an account for the o-a visa.
Hello, I’m new to the group and would like to ask a question, I’m Canadian and I work overseas (have for over 30 years) anyway, I work a shift of 5 weeks at work and 5 weeks off, over the next year or so I would like to take my off time (usually maximum 35 days) and come tour Thailand. My question is will I have issues coming in 3 or 4 times a year for about 30 to 35 days each time.
I will not be working at all, only traveling around and touristy stuff
I entered Thailand 3 weeks ago with the plan of getting a visa on arrival, as I did last year. I was in Thailand for 6 months doing visa runs and never overstayed. Everything was in rule. Long story short, they asked me to buy a ticket to leave Thailand and gave me only 45 days instead of the usual 60 days.
I would like to apply for a DTV visa, but at the moment, I don’t have the required funds in my bank account for at least 3 months.
I am going to India for 3 weeks, and my question is: Do you think I can apply for a METV to come back to Thailand, and meanwhile get my papers sorted, to then apply for a proper DTV?
The Thai embassy does not usually provide reasons when a DTV visa is rejected. Because of this, applicants cannot confirm whether the rejection is related to the supporting documents. In our case, I applied for a DTV visa through Muay Thai Fever gym in Chiang Mai, but the application was rejected. The gym informed us that they could not provide a full refund in this situation
Hi, has anybody applied for a non-o through e-visa website whilst having a METV that isnt expired.
I currently am outside of Thailand in my home country
I recieved a METV Visa which expires in 3 months from the online e-visa website using the embassy in London. I used the METV visa once and have just returned back in my home country.
I just applied for a non-o 90 day visa for marriage (stayin with family residing in thailand) via the e-visa website again.
How likely is this to be approved, as the METV is still active/usable will this cause any issues, or does it have to be cancelled somehow.
If approved will there be any issue at airport IO for having two visa's?
I was wondering if anyone here has ever done a visa run with their pet, and what the experience was like.
I’m on a METV and planning a short trip around mid–late November (haven’t decided on the destination yet). I’ll be traveling with my small dog (5 lbs, in-cabin only), and I’m trying to understand what the process looks like in terms of paperwork, airlines, and re-entering Thailand smoothly with her. Leaving her with a sitter would only be a last resort.
Any insights, tips, or advice from those who’ve done this would be really appreciated!
Hi can anyone tell me ( preferably from first hand experience ) how long it takes for an METV visa to be issued from the date of submission to the Thailand Embassy in London please ?
