Brandon Thurkettle definitely 👍 Spending an hour applying for a E-visa (for those that can) is way more convenient than spending the better part of a day for extension. Well unless your in Chiang Mai I guess (I was in and out in 20 minutes at the new office at the mall)

Yorgos Theodosiadis seriously?? If she got a Dutch passport she’s Dutch, period!

Jack Kawakami Long you hear the words but don’t seem to understand them. 30 days = 29 nights

And you have to leave latest the last day. Unless you get an extension fir another 30 days

@Andrew ********

I very much doubt that ……

@Gillian *****

can you even get a re-entry permit for SETV? As it’s issued as a single entry visa.

But I guess it depends on how long your stay In Thailand is. Cost effective don’t know, but certainly more convenient with a METV.

@Jose*****

yeah i understand that concern. The main thing is that you are in your home country when applying. I did it 4 weeks in advance, but next time I will do it a week or so before if I plan to stay a few months.

If you are worried about getting questioned at entry, re entry at Laos Land borders are fairly “safe”. At least the last entry that may be smart. But you are less likely to get issues with METV compared to exemption entries for example.

2. For the visa application your flights in and out as planned is fine, but when you leave you should have a onwards ticket within 60 days (use a onwards ticket service, 15 usd)

3. And also of you holding your passport.

4. For the entire first 60 days stay, but use agoda and book a random hotel you can cancel cost free once the visa is approved l. For entry into Thailand you need the first few days.

5 . You don’t need wage statement, just enough balance. But it’s around 5k euro over the last 6 months (maintaining above in that period)

6. Correct, just anything proving your residency

B. You have good margin as you can get 9 months from date of issue if enter Thailand again on the day of visa expiry. Was approved in two days for me (NL). But 2-4 weeks Should be safe.

Yes, you can enter on exemption and then just exit and re-enter to activate it.

Don’t forget the 20K baht equivalent in cash when entering Thailand.

Also some of the fields in the application are redundant, so just upload a image saying “Not applicable for my application “ to be able to proceed.

@Gordon ********

how about not giving advice when you don’t know eh?

@Pablo *******

best bet or not, I don’t know what’s best for you. But yeah ED an option. If the school has approval letter from OBEC, it should be ok. The reputable schools would. But I have no idea about specific schools.

@Pablo *******

just be aware it’s been allot of crackdown lately on dodgy ED visas, and they also exclude from ever applying elite visa (the dodgy ones, not the real ones)

But definitely possible, personally I would not unless actually attending classes.
