So, the only loophole available for 3-week-on/3-week-off oil workers is now entry visa exempt through airports. This is tough for Thailand to prevent as the requirements for air tickets and money is satisfied. Having a limit of 90 days per year (as at land borders) is not really practicable. All they could do, perhaps, is have a red stamp on exit like "no visa exempt entry allowed until ...." that airlines had to look for. Otherwise, the xenophobes are winning.

As an oilworker this is a good visa for me smile.png

Glad to hear it. You are lucky that your job is based in your home country and you are willing to spend time there a couple of times a year to get the METV.

Yes I always stay a few days before and after my travelling and I also live near the Thai Embassy in my home country so no hassle for me to get a visa. I can apply before I go to work and pick it up when I come back.

Some off topic and inflammatory posts and replies to them have been removed.

Such posts will be removed without notice from now on.

Just a reminder.

Can you confirm that there is a possibility to apply in Malaysia from reading the announcement?

Or am reading too much into it?

No. It's referring to the list of countries here.

This is an old list of countries that had to be resident to apply for a visa.

It doesn't mean the METV will be available to any country not on that list. I think they've lumped the SETV and METV requirements together and not yet made it clear that residency is a requirement for the METV.

Foreigners in Malaysia may have a right to remain there .

For example .A UK who marries a Malaysian would have a UK passport, but residency in Malaysia

Does This mean you can only get METV from your country of residence ?

So if the option of single entries runs dry from adjacent countries.

Must return home and apply in your own country for this visa.

Also hear from a friend today that he will not be able to apply for a third education visa, and that 2 is the limit before forced to leave.

Maybe they consider those countries to be high risk and thus want to do further checks that can only be done in Jakarta ?

Or maybe they want to interview those people .

It clearly states that only people with Indonesian residency can apply

Yes meaning Indonesians as opposed to the African countries list are able to apply anywhere.

Only the listed nationalities have to apply in Jakarta

Note as well that there is no mention of residency like the laotian requirements, in the list of things to provide

The Embassy in Jakarta will refuse the vast majority of visa applications from citizens of countries listed.

These people are required to apply for visas in their own countries. This is nothing new.

"4. Nationals of certain countries are required to apply for a visa only at the Royal Thai Embassy or the Royal Thai Consulate-General in the applicant’s country of residence, or at the Royal Thai Embassy which has jurisdiction over his or her country of residence. "

Guys, do you really believe that all these nationalities are present in such high numbers as residents in Indonesia that they have to make a list for them to apply solely in Jakarta?

That would make no sense

Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Central African Republic, DR Congo, Republic of Congo, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Liberia, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, São Tomé and Príncipe, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen

And its the same for Singapore btw.
