Please PM me and I will answer any questions you have.

You can get multiple Entry Visa (METV) which covers you for up to 6 months, however every 60 days (or sooner if you want) you must leave the country. When you go back to Thailand you get stamped another 60 days. You can also get a 30 day extension for 1900 baht. So, your three months are covered as well as visiting other countries.

@Elías *******

my apologies.

You just have to keep trying. The US embassy told me to change cards, change browsers, try different computer, clear your cookies. It took many tries over several days until

It went through. It turned out that it was the Thai banks that were denying it. Very frustrating!

@Paul ******

depends where you are

@Bob ********

The hotel you will be staying when you arrive in Thailand is all that is needed.

It took my husband and me 1 day from NY for our METV’s.

Schwab!!!

@Michael *******

will do that, thank you.

My husband had this problem all week and finally got his METV processed yesterday. We called the Thai Embassy in NY and she told us to:

Clear the cache

Try different browsers

Press control and F5 on PC

Use a debit card

What actually happened is that we used a debit card and the Thai bank - Kasikorn refused it. The bank contacted my husband’s bank in the US and told them it needs to be authorized by my husband. When he told his bank it was fine to make this payment, he put the payment through on the application and it was processed.

This was a very frustrating experience to say the least. The Thai Embassy’s Visa Officer was fantastic, very nice and very helpful.
