You apply via the relevant authority in your home country that issues them by presenting your license and paying the fee. It's a permit not a licence.

Is a rental agreement acceptable for the METV application in Thailand?

Ron ******

You can't get a year out of a METV so showing them an agreement that exceeds the validity of your visa may not be a good idea.

What is defined as a 'competent official' for signing the Form STM 10 affidavit for a marriage-based visa extension in Thailand?

Ron ******

If immigration gave you the form to get a witness to sign it would normally mean the witness isn't required to attend. They would normally tell you or your wife. It may have changed but when we did our extension in August that form wasn't available for download. We just had our witness sign and provide a copy of their ID and house book.

How long does it take to get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from the Sydney Consulate?

Ron ******

What's your travel date? That visa is valid for six months from the date of issue. So if your travel date is a way off they might just be holding off issuing.
