Right, I ran out of time waiting for the visa. I just didn't expect it to take so long, considering my previous experience. My mistake. I contacted a well known company called The Thai Visa Centre and they said when I finally get it I just need to leave the country and re-enter using the visa. I received the request from the Thai Embassy on the 13th .. while I was sitting in Vancouver airport waiting for my flight. I send the info right away.

I am still waiting for my Visa to be processed. I sent them a general outline of my travel plans. Impossible to give exact dates and flights. If I don't hear anything in a couple of days I'll resend the travel info. I had a flight booked out of Vancouver so I am now in Thailand on a 45 day visa-expempt. Last time I did the METV online it took a week. Times have changed.

Thanks for the reply, I'll send an update when everything is sorted out

Thanks ubonjoe. I appreciate the always great advice.

I need some assistance. I am in Canada and applying online for a METV (multi-entry). I just received this email from the Thai embassy in Canada: Dear Applicant, To complete your visa application, please send the following documents in pdf format to email : [email protected]. 1. A Travel plan/itinerary stated clearly the purpose and schedule of the multiple entries during a validity of the visa (6 months) Thank you I'm not sure what I need to send them? Can I just say I'm visiting friends in Thailand and also plan trips out of the country? Do I need to give dates and destinations? I really just plan to spend the winter in Thailand and do visa runs every two months. If anyone has delt with this before your comments or advice are welcome. Thank you!

I’m from Canada and before covid I always came to Thailand for six months using a METV. I had a return ticket for the end of my six month stay. Every two months (60 days) I took a short trip out of the country. I think I got an extension maybe once. I never had any of the problems being written about here. I plan to return again mid Oct. I’ve started the online application process (not completed yet) and I do see they ask for more information - bank statement, copy of passport pages for one year, photo of me holding passport. It will only have been 3 months since I left Thailand on my previous trip. I’m trying to calculate how to stretch it to 9 months. My previous METV was good for a period of 6 months (enter Thailand within that time frame) so … 60 days+30 day, 60 days+exit and return, 60 days+30 day. That leaves me a month short so exit and return visa exempt. Does this sound possible? Thanks!
