or should we just drive to Malaysia? I thought it would be quite a simple thing to do independently, from HH. Please advise - we don't know what to do for the best now.

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

ok. Maybe it's just best to get the visa added then stay in the Ranong area afterwards?

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

so you're inferring that we couldn't even stay there for a couple of nights, just get the visa and leave asap?

@Jared *********

that's exactly what we're hoping to do,at the end of January; leave Thailand and cross into Rayong to get a further 60;days on our METV. My question was how feasible this is and would it be better to leave Myanmar asap or should we stay there for a few days? Thank you

@Jared *********

that's correct

Yes,in Bluport . Had to go to immigration first to get the correct paperwork but all completed within a couple of hours.

I have limited mobility - will I be able to get on to the boat?( ie- what type of boat is it?) Thank you !

I don't know. I think previously I just gave my employer's name and address ( SETV) but for this METV application, just my pension statement.

@Peter ******

no, just a copy of my pension statement.

@Peter ******

the usual docs- passport,flights, accommodation and bank statement. It actually said that our flight was ' 1st flight '. Our application was 'being processed' all week. I've been waiting for the prompt for the second flight etc and didn't think anything would happen over the weekend. We got an email last night, to say that our Visa had been approved. I automatically thought that it would be a SETV as we hadn't shown proof of leaving within the first 60 days. But it said 'multi'! Shocked and very happy.
