perfect I will be doing it here in Jomtien. Sounds easy enough. And I'm understanding you right that i should be able to do this anytime between now and the expiration?
DC was just a nightmare for me to get a METV. They kept making me send new copies of the app cause they said it looked like I just photocopied them. I ended up send 6 copies the last time in different ink colors blue/black and combination of. Before they gave me the Visa 2 days before I left the states.
I just did my METV using a service. I only had a one way ticket and they provided the proof of onward travel for me. The requirements through Washington seemed very strict I had to send 7 months of bank statements and ended up sending multiple Visa apps because they said it looked like I photo copied them. I did not. Lol. Good luck
