Sorry to jump on the thread but think my question is relevant… When you’re doing the final re-entry (that will grant you permission to stay past the visa expiry date), do you need any specific documents similar to an exempt entry e.g. - Flight out within 60 days? - 20,000 cash or equivalent? - Accommodation booking? - Other?

Can’t help with Canadian embassy and hope it works out for you. I’ve just applied for my first METV from London and happy to report it went very smoothly and approved very quickly! I attached scans of: - bank statement for savings account (rather than current account) with more than £5k / 200k baht for 6 months - letter from employer was from myself as I own a private, limited company - one way flight from U.K. to Bangkok - lease document for house I rent in Thailand - scans of passport pages for travel history - scan of passport photo page for proof of residency - headshot photo - photo holding passport No extra requests received and approved within 3 days. Very efficient!!

Has anyone got recent experience of doing a land border run to Laos or Myanmar from Chiang Rai please? Immigration officer didn’t want to know about a Covid extension to my tourist visa and having construction work on my U.K. home at the moment so can’t go back just yet. Thanks!
