Any word on applying for an e-visa METV, after doing a few years on ED visas?

 

I've heard immigration is kinda trying to "punish" people who had ED visas and Volunteer visas.

 

Is this really an issue? Has anyone heard facts about been rejected from getting the e-visa?

You would  be applying for the visa to the Thai embassy in your home country not immigration here. I sure you will not have a problem getting it.

I am sure immigration will not make a problem when entering the country.

Immigration have basically put a stop to land border bounces for those deemed to be living in Thailand on 'incorrect visas'. Eg you would not have been able to to a quick visa exempt border hop through Cambodia after 3 years on ed visas.

 

You will have zero issue obtaining a METV from your home consulate. The longer you spend outside of Thailand will lessen the chances of being questioned on the way back in.

Based on what info you have ?

I doubt there is a blanket ban of any sort, only hassles at various already known crossings....

Based on my own very recent experience, and of others reported here.

I was in a similar position to the OP and was told by various visa run agencies that a border hop to any of the Cambodian borders was impossible, and that the Laos borders were very risky.
