Who or what is the Tor Mor?

Let's assume that you mean one million Baht, not one minute (one sixtieth of an hour) Baht.

Seeing how casually some immigration offices ignore the Police Regulation of June 2020 I was wondering whether it was perhaps just an internal guideline for the Immigration Bureau but I have found that it was published in the Royal Gazette on 16 June 2020. A copy of it is available for download on the website dl.parliament.go.th at the URL https://drmlib.parliament.go.th/site.php?mod=document&op=preview&url=aHR0cHM6Ly9kbC5wYXJsaWFtZW50LmdvLnRoL2JpdHN0cmVhbS9oYW5kbGUvMjAuNTAwLjEzMDcyLzU2MzY2Mi82MzA2MTZfMV8xNDElRTAlQjglODclRTAlQjglOUUlRTAlQjglQjQlRTAlQjklODAlRTAlQjglQTglRTAlQjglQTkucGRmP3NlcXVlbmNlPTE=&handle=563662&email=&v=preview

It is important to note that according to the Police Regulation dated 30 June 2020 the fact that a foreigner is "returning to the same address" does not, by itself, exempt the foreigner from submitting a new TM.30. In addition, entry into Thailand must have been made with a valid re-entry permit, or a valid multiple-entry visa that was already used previously, ie the second or subsequent entry with the visa. There will, of course, always be the odd immigration office that will not implement the provisions of this Police regulation correctly.

No wonder. They did not understand what you meant by MENO. @MangoKorat and everyone else: Please stop using the unusual and confusing acronym MENO for the multiple-entry non-O visa on this forum. Thank you.

Could the problem be that although immigration writes "incorrect visa expiration date", they really mean incorrect expiration date of permission to stay?

Toplc closed. For over a week since this topic started, No-one from a country other than New Zealand has come forward and posted that the visa fees have been increased.

That's a very interesting detail. Thank you for having discovered it and posting it here.

Every member country of the European Union (EU) issues is own passports and has its own rules for it.

That's the question.

Does that make it legal?

METV is a widely used acronym for the multiple- entry tourist visa and acceptable on this forum. Also Thai embassies and consulates use it and for all I know they may have started it. https://thaiconsulatela.thaiembassy.org/en/publicservice/tourist-visa-metv-multiple-entries http://www.thaiembassy.it/index.php/news/52-visa/type/78-tourist-visas

I have sent an email to the Department of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking if they can confirm that the embassy in Wellington has the authority to charge the new fee of NZD 300.00 for the single-entry tourist visa.

Deleted Changed my mind.

Thai embassies are quick to increase visa fees quoted in the currency of the country where the visa is issued when the currency weakens compared with the Baht, but slow to reduce them when the currency gets stronger. I checked the price in Switzerland just now and it is still the same CHF 40 for the single entry tourist visa (THB 1,580 at Kasikorn Banks buying rate for bank notes) today as it was on 14.11.2014 (THB 1,339 at that day’s rate) My submission of an application for a single-entry tourist visa to the Thai embassy in Switzerland today:

I did the job myself now. Giving a residence address in New Zealand, I submitted an application for a single-entry tourist visa and quite promptly received the payment request for "300 NZD" from the "Royal Thai Embassy, Wellington", but I won't make that payment, of course, because I don't like the price. I can't give a link to that page because it is personalised to my logged-in account, but I am proud to give below a screenshot of it. That's the confirmation I had been seeking, now we have it.

I never said I did not believe it.

Thank you, but what you have posted is not a link to a web page on https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ Please note that the other poster, on whose behalf you have replied to my post, wrote "The visa fees have been up on the Wellington Embassy website for a couple of weeks, with confirmation from the embassy that they are correct, and the same prices are in the e-visa system right now and available for people to purchase" I was very excited to read and if you can give a link to that webpage on what the other poster called the "e-visa system", I should be most grateful.

Thank you for this very interesting information. I was trying to get that information on the https://www.thaievisa.go.th website but it seems I cannot do that from Switzerland. Would you be so kind as to post a screenshot of that part of the respective web page?

Or the visa fee errors on the Wellington embassy website have to be corrected before access to the eVisa site is enabled.

I suspect that the listed price of NZD 300 mistake on the embassy's website.

If I were you I wouldn't go to forums like this for medical advice... The OP did not ask for medical advice.

@Kiwifarang What you have posted isn't really confirmation that the Thai embassy in Wellington is collecting a fee of NZD 300 for the single-entry tourist visa. Let's see a real confirmation. Let's see a receipt posted by someone who applied for the visa, was asked for payment of NZD 300 and paid it. Are you in New Zealand at the moment?

Here's the screenshot.

March 19 has come and will be gone in New Zealand in less than an hour. Looking at the website of the Thai embassy in Wellington just now, I see the single-entry tourist visa still listed at NZD 300, which corresponds to roughly THB 6,500 I meant to upload a screenshot but can't do it from the phone. The URL is https://wellington.thaiembassy.org/th/publicservice/17622-tourist-visa but the content may of course change at any time.
