“Financial evidence - I have a savings account, and it constantly has more than the 1,5k at the end of every month on it. That should be sufficient?”

This is not sufficient for the application to a METV. You need to show proof of 5000.- Euro at the end of every month, for a duration of 6 months

Furthermore, they need a statement from you, why you need a multi entry Tourist visa instead of a single entry tourist visa. The reason “I want to stay as long as possible” will not be accepted. The text referring to this, has, however, vanished from the embassy's website, yet leaves me wondering if they still ask

Your travel history might arouse the attention of the immigration officer at the border. If they let you enter, is solely upon the personal discretion of the border official. A visa alone does not constitute the right to enter. . . . . . if you get pulled aside, be prepared to show the "three famous proofs" and be prepared to answer questions of the purpose of your stay

well, even if you got your new passport at your embassy in Bangkok, Immigration did not transfer any visa sticker. they don't issue any stickers. They might have given you a stamp which normally is used when someone applies for a "change of visa type". Or in case you were o n an extension, this is an immigration stamp, one of their own. So they will always transfer their own stamps but never those from an embassy

@Sean ********

my friend, Immigration NEVER transferred any "visa" from your old to your new passport. Maybe they transferred the "admitted until" entry stamp, or an "extension of stay permitted until" stamp. There is nothing such as a "visa stamp", except ONLY ONE, this is a 90-days Non-Imm visa stamp you will receive on Immigration when you apply to the "change of visa type". In case the "visa" was a sticker in your passport issued by a consulate not yet using the online E-visa system, Immigration would be unable to transfer the sticker from one passport to another, because Immigration is not in possession of any friggin' visa-stickers. Only embassies and consulate got those stickers

@Anthony ******

the 7 days of the "application denied stamp" begin with the day you are issued the stamp, so they tell you to come back one day before your stay permit expires. What I wonder about is that they let you in without proof of onward travel within the 30 days of a visa-exempt entry. If the officers had been aware that your flight out is 5 days later, they could have refused your entry. so at the least you got that chance on the 7 days grace period. Go there on the last day and apply for the 30-days extension. You will either been granted 30 days or 7 days, however you will neither get arrested or deported, nor fined, because you aren't on any overstay, you have just been in Thailand on back-to-back visa-exempt entries "for too long"

Thai Immigration will transfer re-entry stamps and "extension of stay" stamps. If the visa has been issued by the E-visa system, it is not a sticker in the passport but a printed pdf. document, and will not get transferred by any means. If the visa is a sticker, Immigration will not transfer it, as visa stickers are courtesy of embassies and consulates, not courtesy of the Thai Immigration

the entry stamp "admitted until" will always get stamped into the new passport upon entry. In case you received a new passport by your embassy while being inside Thailand, you will need the entry stamp being transferred from the old to the new passport

the 60 days Tourist E- Visa cannot be applied for any earlier than three months from the planned entry date. Is that what happened?

oh, sorry. My comment was directed to

are you a Philippine citizen? Then you get the visa for ASEAN countries. Check the internet how this affects your stay and the possibilities of extending it
