METV (from your home country)will give you 9 months if timed correctly & extended. following up with a SETV from a neighbouring country extended will give you 12 months stay.

Virtually every twat there all using an ‘agent’ to provide accommodation & forwarding tickets & having to slip 200bht in their passport at immigration as proof of funds. My observations. If your a legitimate Tourist you can obtain a TV anywhere.

Because 90% were never ‘genuine’ tourists.
Michael *********
Because so many illegal ‘teachers’ running from Phuket & Samui, with none of the evidence required & paying for the ‘proofs required’ .

If your working in the Kingdom legally you won’t be going to get a TV from Penang anyway.

@Marco ********
there’s no fine for not meeting the lawful requirements to gain a SETV, you just won’t be issued with a Visa if you don’t meet the criteria.

@Tod ********

You choose possibly the worst border crossing in Thailand, you didn’t have the required 20k in bht or slip 200bht in your passport & you wonder why you got ‘red stamped’. The amount of time you’ve been here I would have thought some research as to lawful requirements would have seen you walk through.
