yes that's also how I understood the requirement... meaning I could maximum be asked at Immigration to proof staying in Germany during application (which I can with my first boarding pass). Thank you!

Because technically it would be possible to apply and receive visa's via the e-visa system while in Thailand and activate them with visa run's... but I guess Immigration can easily find that out when checking application date with entry dates into Thailand...

@Brandon ***********

thanks for your quick response 🙏🏼

So there will be no issues at all when entering with the METV on my 2nd entry to Thailand?

I'm a little bit concerned since I always understood that the METV can only be applied for in your home country and therefore Visa Runs, using the METV are than also not possible... I know that for the Singe Entry Visa this is no problem at all and common procedure.

Or is this a valid procedure since I can proof that I stayed during application in my home country?

See below the new and simplified requirements for the German Thai-Embassies. I checked with the Embassy in Berlin and they confirmed that there are no additional requirements anymore to receive the multiple entry visa. They also confirmed that one-way ticket is enough for visa application... but as

@Graham *****

mentioned already, this doesn't have to count for other embassies too.

@Marc *******

acc. the newest visa regulation from 23. October 2023 a proof of ticket out of Thailand is not required anymore (at least at the Thai embassies in Germany).

Anyway, I still will purchase an onward ticket out of Thailand, but as mentioned, with another airline, than my flight in.

Therefore I'm not sure if Thai Airways will accept this, since this will not cover costs, in case they would have to fly me back to Germany.

@Stuart ********

also sufficient for the airline?

Ok thanks for the feedback!

Yes at the end it’s always up to the embassy, immigration officer if you get the visa again or entry.

I thought there is maybe someone who had experience already getting the METV issued 2 years in a row and successfully stayed 6+ months per year in Thailand with it.

But thanks for your thought on it 👍🏼

@Peter ********

worked well, thanks 👍🏼

@Peter ********

Sounds promising, thanks! I will try it tomorrow and give an update if it works! 😉
