And you see in the e-visa portal if you don’t justify your need for a multiple entries they might just issue a single entry without refunding your extra fee.

This is general requirements for a METV as from the thai embassy in Norway.

You’ll need to leave Thailand first time anyway within 60 days (or 90 days if you apply for an extension) on your first entry.

@David ******

Do you try to learn me about fake tickets? Well I can tell you if you want to use a METV you’ll also need to leave first time within 60 or 90 days with a REAL ticket. And you’ll also need to enter with a real ticket and leave with a real ticket within six months.

The thai embassy in Rome demands minimum two inbound and two outbound tickets for a METV, so you might check further with them. If you buy one inbound and outbound ticket within 6 months and one outbound ticket after 60 or 90 days with an inbound ticket, you should be fine I guess.

You just show your passport and your still valid multiple entries visa in the immigration and you’ll get stamped in for another year or as long as your health insurance is valid.

If you plane to stay longer than two maximised visa exemptions (180 days), I personally would have applied for a METV. Gives you up to nine months without any issues.

@Kim ********

Yes affidavit letter is sufficient

I personally wouldn’t rely on that six months a year in Thailand on visa exemptions can be done without any issues for the foreseeable future, so your safest bet is probably to apply for a visa. If you apply for a one year Non O-A visa you just can use income/funds at home to fulfil the financial requirements and therefore don’t need to prove any income or funds in Thailand. A one year Non O-A visa used the right way gives you up to two years in Thailand. There’s a mandatory health insurance, health certificate and police check up requirements.

Ok, for visa exemption you’ll have to pay 1900 baht for the extension plus a (throw away) onward ticket within 60 days. With Non O you have 90 days at once and it’s excused from the onward ticket requirement. Just mentioned it as on option (I probably would have done myself).

This is from the embassy in Londons website. If you don’t want to bother with an onward ticket within 60 days or an 30 days extension of stay, you can also apply for a 90 days Non O visa at the embassy at home before you leave if you fulfil the requirements. You’ll need to be passed 50 years and have an income/pension min equal to 65K baht a month. (£1491). It’s probably cheaper in total and you’ll don’t need to spend time at the immigration for an extension.
