**UPDATE METV - Netherlands**

My METV was approved and only had to show 5500 euro on my bank. No questions or anything about a 6 months period. I also booked a return ticket BKK- VN in the first 60 days. No travel plan or declaration form or any question asked.

@Jose*****

btw can you let me know how it went. How many days you take to arrange the METV before you leave? I wanna get most days out of it but not want to wait till last week.

@Jose*****

yes, Dutch embassy website says I have to include a travel plan. On the Thai visa website there is nowhere to add this, ... but I am prepared if they will ask me later and think they do.

1. no, because you didn't apply for an actual visa ever before. Exemption is not a visa.

3. on the actual visa website you don't have to include this in the required docs as far as I know. Was also looking into this last week. But later they will come back with some extra requirements if needed by mail. Had this with a SETV.

I think there is no direct bus to Vientane or Laos border from airport UD. Just cabs... But if you take transport to the center (15 - 25 min/150-200 B or maybe Grab) you have 2 options. Busstation (close to Central SM): direct bus to Vientane. Keep in mind you need a Lao visa in advance. Mini van bus station (next to Central SM): minivan to the border of Laos 55 Baht. From the border you can take a bus or taxi to Vientane.

I was on a SETV and later came back on a 30 days stamp (2x). Did it myself 3 times but it was in Udon Thani, which is the most relaxed office I have ever been. While I was on Samui 2 years ago they never mentioned TM27 and wanted to fine me, same as BKK.

Actually you can do it urself as well. If you have a contract, copy ID landlord and something called 'blue book', if I am correct? Then you can fix a TM27 (Address Reporting Form). My landlord refused to do a TM30 so this was a good solution.

out- inbound required. Also stated in the screenshot

I noticed that some consulates (UK/US/GER/BE) are asking for proof of an x amount for the last 6 months as stated on their website, while Dutch and Danish aren't asking this. Here they just ask for 5,5-6k Euro proof when apply...

@Lars *******

strange if they come up with something new. A bank statement with minimum balance of DKK 45,000 isn't clearly enough?
