Can I apply for a METV as a retired US citizen who doesn't have proof of employment?

Alan *******

Why do you want an METV? As a US citizen, you can enter without a visa, and if you want a longer stay you can apply for a retirement visa.

Not saying METVs don't have their uses, but it would help to know your situation.

Of course, that’s based on what we know now. By next week, the rules could be changed again. 🙁

What is the average cost for a student visa in Thailand and how do I apply for it?

Alan *******

Rules change rapidly. I just read a report yesterday that one of the schools has learned that they can no longer renew visas for their students— probably one of the cheaper schools, I would guess.

What are the best visa options for long-term stays in Thailand?

Alan *******

What do you have in mind for “long-term“, and why? You should get the visa that conforms to your actual situation, not the one that is easiest.

How can I effectively demonstrate financial support for my second ED visa application to the consulate in Phnom Penh?

Good. It’s helpful to clarify that, since there are people who post on groups like this looking for workarounds.

Where can I find a Notary to certify a letter in Chiang Mai?

Alan *******

It depends on what country you want the notarization to be recognized in. Other countries do not recognize Thai notaries.

What is the process for using the online TM30 registration system in Thailand?

Alan *******

The online system is for hotel operators. You have to be registered with the system to use it.

Of course the situation is subject to change at any time, with no notice, or only ambiguous notice.
