it must be a very recent change, I did a tourist visa earlier this year, and it was still required then, you say no financial requirement, does that include the METV?? I don't think there ever was any financial requirement for the SETV.

It's not difficult at all, you can do it yourself, it's more frustrating than anything else doing it at the jomtien immigration, because even if all your paperwork is in order, they just have you there unnecessarily for hours and hours. It's ฿1900 to do it yourself and a few hours sat in the immigration office waiting, or pay an agent, it's usually around ฿4000 and you accompany them to the immigration office, your in and out in 5 mins.

People talk about these "onward ticket" companies, I purchased one once and it looked so fake!! it just looked like something someone had made on a word document, sure it had a booking reference, I've checked it out once with the airline website, and it's just a ticket with your name and no other information, if one day someone decided to check on it at the airport your going have problems, personally I wouldn't buy one again, much safer and not much difference in price to purchase a real ticket. I wouldn't be surprised if it's people that work for these "onward ticket" companies commenting on these posts, because to me it's just pointless.

if you're worried just book a cheap ticket to a neighbouring country, do it for within the days you get stamped in for, some people just wait and see what happens at the airline check in desk, if there is a problem you can just step away and book a cheap flight there and then to be allowed to travel, if you do this give yourself plenty of time.

The Lao land border was recommended to me. Is it okay to ask?? why was your Ed visa cancelled?? 🤔

What is your location?? Some immigration offices won't let you do it until you have 7 days or less remaining on your current stamp.

I think part of the application process is to upload a photo of all the stamps in your passport, that would show you're still in Thailand. I suppose you could miss a page out, but would they check I don't know, you would need to book flights and accommodation etc for it to be approved.

I always booked a holiday to Thailand for 28 nights, it guarantees you will not overstay, people trying to book the exact number of days they are allowed to stay, your just causing yourself mither and worry, and now your now here asking for everyone's advice 🤷😂

The e-visa site likes jpeg files, check the size of the photo, if it's too big it won't drag and drop, I little tip if you need to upload more than one photo just use a collage.

I think he is trying to say "chok dee" it means "good luck" in English
