Hi.

Thank all for your response.

@SEtonal

I am over 50 single. Are you saying I cannot apply for a Non Immigrant O 90 day or Multi entry visa in the U.S. The Los Angeles Thai Consulate website does not specify an age limit for 90 day O visa.

What if I want to extend a 90 day Non O to a 12 month extension?

Jerry.

Hi.

Have a couple of questions on the Non Immigrant O visa.

In the U.S. Thai Non immigrant O, 90 day visa ($80.00) and a Non immigrant O, multiple entry ($200.00).

Thai Consulate of Los Angeles website quotes the Non O multiple entry is valid for 1 year.

Is this valid for one year or 180 day then extend the visa to a year when you arrive in Thailand?

Can someone briefly explain the difference between the Non O multiple entry and 1 year O-A visa?

Hi.

Quick METV Question:

If I leave Thailand after a few months stay. Then return back to Thailand (by air) on September 30, 2019.

My Valid Until Date is October 2^nd 2019.

Will I still get stamped a new 60 days even though I have just 3 days until my visa expires.

Jerry.

Thanks all for the reply and advice.  

A couple of quick follow-ups,

The U.S. airline I will fly may have difficulty understanding the longevity of the METV visa extension. I can show 6 month stay with the “Valid until date”.

(Q) Is there a document (to print) explaining how the METV visa can be extended, in case I am questioned at checkin.

I know the METV visa has been issued to the public for a few years now.

In this climate of uncertainty with the IO rules recently, I'm worried they may just refuse giving a new 60 day stamp, 4 days or less prior to expiration date. Or maybe 8 months in Thailand is a red flag now using a Tourist Visa + Extension.

(Q) Has any member extended their METV 60 more days recently with their “Valid Until” date less than 5 days?

Thanks – Jerry.

Hi.

This is my first post. Have a couple of questions regarding the METV visa.

I will be purchasing a flight ticket to Thailand in a few days:

Arriving:    April 11, 2019.

Departing: December 27, 2019.

During this trip, I will spend 29 days in Cambodia.

Topic: Will the METV Visa + Visa Extensions cover my entire stay.

Will submit METV visa application on April 3^rd.

I will get the passport returned on on April 4^th, 2019 from the New York Thai Consulate.

From what I have read on this forum, my Visa stamp should state as:

Valid From: 4 April 2019 Valid until 4 Oct 2019.

Going to Cambodia September 2^nd 2019 returning September 30, 2019

Since I am returning 4 days prior to “Valid Until date” of Oct 4^th 2019,

I should get a new 60 day stamp in my passport starting on September 30^th correct?

If yes:

Then September 30 thru November 28 (60 days).

        November  29 thru December 27 (29 days) 30 day extension at Jomtien

METV Visa + Visa extensions should cover my Departure Date of December 27th 2019.

Jerry.
