no one calls them 3 and 6

Months visas šŸ˜‰ They are both 60 day visas, single vs multiple entry. In both cases (extendable) 60 days per entry. But you have 3 or 6 months to ā€œactivateā€ them by entering into Thailand within that (validity) time.

There was a STV visa that had 90 days that has been discontinued.

Brian J. Dean If your wife has a work visa, you can also apply for trailing spouse visa from Laos. You do not need a agency for this. Again huge waste of money and too much gray area and downright illegal stuff that risk you entry ban.

You would need your wife’s work documentation, invitation letter from her company, your marriage documentation and so on.

Brian J. Dean we really need to know your entry history to advise. And visa agencies are a huge waste of money. But if your land entries are used with exemption entry, and you have a few entries already this year, then your best option is to head to Laos and get a proper Tourist visa. METV being the best option.

If you try visa exemption entry again, chances are very high you may get pulled aside for questioning.

Head to Savannaketh and apply for a proper single or multiple entry tourist visa. Takes a few days. Then cross back into Thailand via Chong Mek land border (it’s a very easy/friendly border)

The 2 land border entry limits does not apply for dedicated visa.

That is what I would do. Screw the agencies, can land you in serious trouble.

now try make a transactions to a Thai bank account from both šŸ˜‰

The two companies focus on different things for a reason. Revolut is good for what it does, which isn’t large international bank transfers….

Just what you need to get into town, get does in the basement by train station at Super Rich.

Then head to Super Rich headquarters in town to get significantly better rate

@Jennifer ***
nope, that’s only for visa exemption, does not apply to METV šŸ˜‰

Why would you leave after 60 days? Do the 30 day extension for 1900 baht at immigration office šŸ˜‰ each entry gets you 90 days if we include extension

Also Chong mek is a much easier border to bounce. But yes off course you have to get the voa in Laos

Get the 60 day TV, super easy via e-visa, approved in a few days and saves the hassle of extending when In Thailand

Not Italy, but in the Netherlands I had my METV in 48 hrs after applying the E-visa.

It varies I think, but usually quite fast if everything is in order. And every embassy may be different
