aaah! ok! So it's similar to the METV: the visa permits me to enter the Kingdom anyday in the next 90 days from the issued date; and, when I enter Thailand, they put the enter date and te 60 days countdown starts.
These are great news! Thank you so much Paul and Tod! :)
Thanks Paul. My doubt is: if I apply for the SETV in Vientiane a day, example: 1-dec, then keep traveling through Lao and Cambodia, and enter Thailand on, by example, 20-dec... does the SETV start to count from 1-dec or 20-dec for the 60 days?
If it's the second it'll be great, because we plan to stay in Vientiane early in our trip... and have read bad experiences about applying for a visa in Phonm Pehn.
I though about it, but I think I can't show proof of hotels and outwards travel, which is mandatory at least in the Thai consulate in my home country. They advise specifically about it in their website, and warns that no one METV will be issued without both proofs :(
So I can apply for the SETV in Vientiane, and enter Thailand 3 weeks later, and the SETV starts on that date so I'll have the full 60 (+30) days? These are great news!
