Go to TSL at panthip plaza ..they will advise her …they can help get a visa where she doesn’t have to leave Thailand but of course it’s more expensive

Genuine school

@Brian *******

no doubt the visa application cost will triple and invariably a high percentage will fail not for any reason apart from uk getting money for nothing in the pretence of government

No ,,getting married to a Thai doesn’t effect the visa at all or length of stay ,,,

@Henrik ****

99% of non Thais are all tourists no matter how long they stay ..so I’m confused by your thinking about “ real tourist “

@Brandon ***********

ok cool ,,so still a 180 day max ,,thanks

@Steve ******

what exactly is the maximum of entries on a METV .

@Luke ********

20 k baht ,,neighbouring countries or even when you enter Thailand first time they can ask ,,but never been asked ,,stupid rule for first time travelers to have 20k in cash …on that topic plenty money changers in Thailand ,,just change small amount at airport

@Luke ********

Calked a METV Nowadays need to show 5000

I forgot to add if you want a visa in nearby countries to Thailand you only need your show a balance of THB about £500pbut regular payments 3-6 months depending on the officer if they ask at all

Printed out no screenshots no cash accepted ,,,I got caught out ,,I had cash much more than £500 ,they didn’t accept

@Brandon ***********

yes just looked it up METV ..I know a triple entry had finished as I used to get it and the now called METV is in effect a double entry …still maximises to 180 days total correct or not

@Luke ********

I don’t know the exact terminology but it’s on the London Thai embassy page for sure ..

You might need to show 5000 to get the double or multi visa ..it’s the same ,,,you can only get double ,,before triple entry not available now

Too many influencers and digital nomads fxxxed that up

Either way when you go into Laos to get a visa you will need to show minimum of 3 months bank statements but 6 months is better .

Like all Thai visas they can change in a whim what you need or don’t need

Regarding education visas ,you go to a reputable school ,there shouldn’t be problems down the line with i take it your referring to elite visas .

But I get it first time you don’t want to be committed to studying and you do need to study to grasp even beginners thai .

Enjoy people are great
