Short multiple Entry requirement question

[Chris KL]

Hi

 

just read this when applying for METV

 

 you are applying for multiple entries, you need to prove that you have a genuine reason to visit Thailand on a regular basis.

 

Did you have to give a reason for that and whats a good reason

 

Thanks in advance

 

Chris

Genuine reason = tourist purposes

Did you read the OP.  A "tourist does not have a genuine reason to visit Thailand on a regular basis."

I do not believe your "advice!" is accurate (yet again)! But I will not give an alternative answer as I do not offer advice on subjects like this, I prefer to leave it to experts like @ubonjoe.

For the OP;

As you can gather I do not think that @DrJack54 advice is correct.  It might help if you state here what your actual reasons are for requesting a METV and some proper advice can be proffered!

BTW...I did not give the laugh emoji.

 

Clearly you know very little in the topics in this forum.

For a METV the reason for application can be as simple as tourism.

Do you know what METV stands for?....

Multi Entry Tourist Visa.

The reason for wanting this visa is for tourism purposes.

Did you think of "explaining" that to the OP?

My first post stated reply to what to write on application.

 

Just in case you missed it....

 

"Genuine reason = tourist purposes" 

 

That is what he ticks.  

Stick to the OP. 

Give advice or nothing.

Tourism is - obviously - the correct reason to apply for any kind of tourist visa, including the METV.

 

Now, to justify the need for a METV in particular, you could mention side trips to nearby countries and etc. Some embassies actually require you to show evidence of at least one trip out within the validity period of the METV. In addition to the trip back home at the end.

Getting very tired of your spot in answers....joke. You are correct. 

 

For folk applying for METV ...if consulate requires various stuff such as onward flight or hotel booking ....that can easily be falsely stated.

With 4 METVs under my belt, "tourism purposes" is the only reason I've ever offered. Approved without fail each and every time.

Just for clarification > If a Thai Embassy/Consulate requires additional evidence like an onward flight to an international destination during the METV validity and/or a Hotel booking on arrival, just 'stating' that you did so won't cut it. 

But it would be easy to make an onward-flight reservation that is automatically cancelled days before flight departure (typical cost 10-15 US $ for such service).  Similarly it would be simply a matter of booking a Hotel that allows free cancellation up till day of supposed arrival (preferably one that does not require credit-card booking).

Indeed both 'false' but using those methods there is no way that the Thai Embassy/Consulate could dispute or reject such bookings as they are genuine reservations.

By "stated" I meant "provided" 

Poor choice of word. 

Provided in same way as folk flying visa exempt use "rent a flight" to satisfy airline.

I applied for a ME Tourist Visa last October on the eVisa. 

No such requirement.

Asked "reason for visit"

No request for proof.

Was actuality issued ME Non Imm O visa

Some people think there is only one interpretation, theirs.

The OP never said how or where the application was being made. The paper form method is a bit different to the E-visa.

The E-visa is being rolled out on a standardised format and the questions are not always worded as appropriately as they should be. I suspect the same question would  appear on other types of visa with a multi entry option. 

That being the case a tick is not an option, a text answer would be required such as "Itinerary to include visit to neighbouring countries, arrangements to be made locally."
