mrnike Posted Wednesday at 10:05 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 10:05 PM Hi folks I'm thinking of coming to Thailand in october or january next year. Since my last trip (i returned home on feb this year) the new proof of Accommodation requirements for the SETV draw my attention. As i usually travel for several months in Thailand with no planning at all, this is a real hurdle to me. To my surprise, few people on this forum seem concerned by this requirement. So my questions: - is it really applied ? If yes, how do you guys deal with it ? - Has anyone experience about it at Bern embassy ? - on the website of the embassy i didn't the METV anyone. Has it been replaced ? As i have had quite a few visa exemptions and extensions the last 8 years and as the last time i came in (jan 2024) on a visa extension in Krabi, the immigration officer looked at my passport for quite a long time, i was considering playing it safe and getting an SETV or METV before arrival this time. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted Thursday at 12:28 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:28 AM A SETV is a good idea. Accommodation discussed in attached thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1318857-proof-of-accommodation-question-for-tourist-visa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby1947 Posted Thursday at 07:00 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:00 AM I'd wait a while, there's a possibility they may have introduced the promised 60 day exempt entry by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnike Posted Thursday at 10:47 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 10:47 PM All right, thanks guys. That seems comforting. How about the METV ? Has it disappeared ? Quote I'd wait a while, there's a possibility they may have introduced the promised 60 day exempt entry by then. Yes, that would be interesting, but it would still make one more visa exemption entry, which i would like to avoid. And if i end up wanting to stay more than three months, which happens quite often, i would have to get a visa anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquorice Posted yesterday at 03:09 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:09 AM The proposed 60 day VE entry, replacing the existing 30 day VE entry (expected to be effective from July 15th) will in effect make the single entry Tourist visa obsolete. 4 hours ago, mrnike said: How about the METV ? Has it disappeared ? No, it's still available according to the Bern site, you're just overlooking it. https://www.thaiembassy.ch/Content/Embassy/57.html 1.3 Tourist Visa for Tourism and Leisure Activities (TR1) Period of stay: Not exceeding 60 days Validity of visa sticker 90 days (single entry) / 180 days (multiple entries) Extension: Possible for up to 30 days at the immigration office in Thailand Visa Fee: 40 CHF (single entry) / 180 CHF (multiple entries) Required document: Required documents for a Tourist visa (Tourism and Leisure Activities – TR1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
