The Embassy issuing it needs to cancel it. However, it is known for agencies with connections to be able to facilitate this which I am sure there will be a fee for.

I can only remember SP. It does not make sense to get a TR as no work allowed.

So you got a METV? Not seen a post where anyone was given this instead of DTV except for Soft Power - never seen it for Workaytion. Strictly speaking, you are not allowed to work remotely on a TR visa of any kind, even remotely. Hope you do not have to ait fro the METv to expire before you can apply elsewhere - ask Mumbai Embassy to cancel it.

Anonymous participant Have a look through previous posts in this group. Many have done exactly this. Been in Thailand on various visas including ED, B, VE for some time then obtained DTV in neighbouring countries with no issues.

No issues leaving it blank. Done it twice now.

Should be no problem. Many others have done exactly as you are planning.

Anonymous participant The form is so simple you could easily do the 8k THB service yourself. Where it would get complex is with DTA and proof of tax paid at source before remittance etc. If you are in that complex situation then go to tax consultants that have been around a long time and not since 2023 🙂 🙂

There are plenty of accountants who will take your money to file your tax submission. Some of trhe more well known expat ones start at 8k for a simple straightforward submission of the info you supply them 🙂 🙂

The schools will do this for you too. There were more just taking the test than actually getting lessons. The online test was taken at same school test centre. Basically you are paying for convenience and 100% pass rate.

It happens, rarely, when the embassy considers the METV is a more appropriate visa for the Soft Power you applied with. What length of course or treatment did you apply with?
