@Da***
Thompson That is great news! Is this also for Non-B Multiple Entry or do we still have to borderbounce for the 90 days?

Mine almost expires and like to stretch the visa now to sit out the worldwide situation with another 90 days as soon as possible before it does.

Yes this is what I am aware of also. So maybe I misunderstood the post ☺

Is the "workpermit" you mention an actual workpermit in the form of this blue book and is valid for a year?

Or a granted permission to work when you are send out by a foreign company to a conference/business meeting or to lecture .. or to do a certain short term job that Thai can not do? Do you get a workpermit blue book then also? If not then that might be the confusion?

you can get a METV only at the Thai Embassy in The Hague, not at the consulate in Amsterdam.

You need to meet all requirements including show bank statement and a letter of approval from your work for your leave.

Or an unemployment statement from UWV.

Or KvK statement.

And a travelplan which says what other countries you be visiting in these 6 months since its a multiple entry they expext you to travel in and out.

Yiu can stay 60 days max on this visa and these 60 get renewed anytime you travel into Thailand before your end date of the visa.

Good luck.

Best to check with your accountant(lawyer/agency) who preps the papers for you where to submit.

You can go Samui or any other immigration office. You apply for extension. Pay the 1900tbh. They will deny/not approve since you already had extension and will give you 7 days to leave Thailand. = 60+30+7 =97 max 🌸

Go KL .. since KL-Surat flight are back with Airasia few times a,week, and small airport of arrival might be less hassle and also India-KL good route. Good luck hun 😊

No actual need for tourist visa when staying 59 days only. You can just arrive without a visa and will receive an exemption stamp for 30 days at border or airport. (Assuming your British?)

Make sure you have a return flight when you board and extend your entry stamp at Immigration office at Samui before your first 30 days expire (1900TBH-50£).

With this you receive an extra 30 days.

Though if you change your mind and want to stay longer you can not and have to exit after 60 days in this case.

When you decide to get a tourist visa in England (valid for 60 days) then you can stretch it to 90 by extending it at Immigration (anywhere in Thailand)

@James *******
she says she meets all the requirements mentioned on the website so I guess she has a Hongkong Medical certificate since she is HK resident and apllying there. Its all about a 1 year rental agreement, apparently she got told last time she was in the consulate to bring that in. including a utility bill or even copy of a land deed. Even the consulate says it was just a formality she could not apply apparently without!
