stephen tracy Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi all, thought it worth posting. I am currently in Toronto and I have a British passport only - no Canadian passport. I was under the impression that I could only obtain an METV in the UK because I'm British but I went to the Thai consulate here this morning and they accepted my application for an METV and said the fact that I was not Canadian was not an issue. I have to say also, that the Thai consulate here in Toronto is the nicest Thai consulate I've ever seen - and I've seen many - it looks like someone's living room. There was no one else there applying. They even had a dog! So I guess you don't necessarily have to go to your home country to get one. I don't know if it's only Toronto that is more easy-going and allows Brits to get them. I should have asked when I was there what other nationalities can obtain an METV here. I told them I would pick up on Thursday as I'M too busy tomorrow to go and pick up so I will ask then and update after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thanks for the report. Canada, the US and Australia do not have as strict requirements for residency that most other embassies and consulates have. Yours is the first for Canada that proves it I think.

post Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Just a matter of interest, what was your immigration/visa status in Canada when you applied for the METV? Edited October 26, 2016 by post 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
