Lovethailandelite Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 1 hour ago, TallGuyJohninBKK said: Sorry, but what's the relationship between the Embassies gradually moving to an E-Visa system vs the decision to no longer offer a Multi-Entry O in London? Is there some reason a Multi-Entry O is somehow incompatible with an E-Visa system? Did the China and Paris Embassies/Consulates discontinue offering Multi-Entry O's when they transitioned to the E-Visa system? I don't recall reading anything about that here.... The relationship is that the E visa system is exactly the same for every country when it switches over to it. There is no separate system per country. Once you create an account, your password works no mater which embassy you enter it from. You log into a global system. The application isn't dealt with at an embassy. Your uploaded documents go to Bangkok. The only dealings the embassy have with your application is checking your documents which were uploaded and issuing the visa against the bar code you print out when you send the application if when your application is approved. They have no access to the system and cannot dictate which visas can be issued. It's locked to it's parameters. And yes, once a country is using E visa, no more ME Non immigrant visas other than the O-A and Non B can be issued. China, France and the UK can no longer issue any other multiple entry visas now they have moved to E visa application because the system contains no ability to apply for them.

So if that's correct, then is the current government (MFA, Immigration, whomever) on a path to entirely eliminate the Multi-Entry O Visa, step by step? Or, is it just a matter that the E-Visa system is in test mode, and that they'll later add back the Multi-Entry O Visas into the E-Visa system in its later/final versions? And what about the Multi Entry Tourist Visa that Pattaya46 mentioned above as not being able to find in the E-Visa system? That too? PS - I don't think there's any inherent reason about an E-Visa system that would somehow prevent it from working with a Multi Entry visa application -- unless they specifically decided they just weren't going to allow them anymore, or just weren't going to support them yet.

From what I've read elsewhere, the evisa system was written around the Chinese system which never had an option of the Multi Entry O. As such it's just not there in this first go round. Will it appear later? I doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks . kr There've not been any changes in the actual terms of the visa, so it'll be the UK equivalent of 20000 baht. The London embassy hasn't specified the amount on there, but this is from the Thai embassy in Helsinki under single entry tourist visa requirements: "Current bank statement of the applicant showing the balance of 600 euro for last 3 months (1200 euro per family...)"

Travellers must enter Thailand within the validity of visa. However, the permitted length of stay is up to 1 year from the date of arrival in Thailand." Joe, reading this seems to imply that the holder of this type of ME visa, be it a type O or a non - O will be permitted to stay in Thailand for one year from his or her date of arrival. I'm sure this can't be right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who wish to apply for visa at the Royal Thai Consulates can continue to do so as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it now mean I can only have a Single Entry then have too apply again when I go back too the UK every 90 Days at £150 ? My current Non O Multi Entry expires on April the 4th 2020, if I leave in Match 2020 will I still get another 3 months from the date I re-enter Thailand ? I got that same visa for 125 quid just before they put it up to 150 quid. Also from London in March '19. It expires March 2020. I'm in receipt of a STATE Pension. Are you positive it's a Non - O.

Please name me a country that issues a multiple entry 1 year visa without much qualification. Australian ME visitors visa allows 90 day entry, is valid for one year and costs less that the Thai METV!
