By the way I would like to add a crucial information, from 2023 experience with my METV (Multi-Entry Tourist Visa) When I had METV in 2023, and I did a crossing from Laos to Nong Khai to start my 1st entry on METV (I received the METV when I arrived in Thailand already as I entered on visa exempt, and 15 days later I received on my email the METV) So, I went to Laos FB1 & go back to Nong Khai, in the minute, I put my E-Visa Paper on the desk, but the IO, didn't look at it almost ! and he stamped me right away the TR60 stamp on my passport, so after this, I though he just see my visa on the database as I guess it's linked directly with the data of the passport, & the visa. But what is more amazing, is when I used to use the another entries of my METV by arriving in SVB airport on the next times, the IO always looking and reading the E-Visa paper carefully, & scan the QR code included in the visa paper on his machine.. which it was pretty different than the land border crossing. So for me it's really wondering how their system work.. Just a supposition, maybe he look the number of the visa on the TM6 form.. and put this on his database and find out the visa. (while crossing on land border in FB1) Also entered once this year in SVB on visa exempt, the IO, asked me, do you have visa ? I said no.. he said, what are you doing in Thailand ? I said just travel around Asia, then looked my stamp for a minutes, & finally stamped out for 30 days.

Yes, I had to show bank statement.

They said it gonna take 5 weeks to receive the visa in the website, but I received it in 1 week!

I already applied for a Non-O visa, using the E-Visa system, & received sucessfully my single Non-O visa by e-mail, but I would like to enter in Thailand soon using the visa-exempt entry for a week (and don't show the Non-O visa at the IO), & going to Philippines for a month & then re-come back to Thailand, and use my Non-O visa at this time, is it technically possible, or the IO may reject my next entry with the visa saying you should use it before, now it's too late to use it... (even if the visa isn't used and not yet expired) I know there is a possibility to use the Re-Entry Permit, but I am gonna lose alot of days.
