Requiem Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Hi! Has anyone obtained an METV recently? How long did it take to issue after you submitted the application? I’m applying through Danish consulate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang51 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I got one at the Thai Embassy in Denmark in October. As far as I remember it took less than a week to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METV and STV are very different animals. If both are available where you live check the terms of both carefully before you apply for either.

I am Lithuanian but applying through Danish embassy, since this is where I have to apply through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang51 Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 As far as I remember, a copy of my passport-ID. They already got that earlier but that is proof of residency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will check availability of METV when I see if Thailand opening up causes another outbreak and lockdown. I don't want to get stuck in LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even consider visa exempt entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However some/many think that covid extensions will be extended perhaps even until some land borders open. Certainly the current covid dead line will be extended. You would assume till late January. The 30+30 followed by covid extension does involve bit of gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
