Hi guys, a question on the Thai multi entry tourist visa.... For UK citizens....

If I understand right,  it grants multi entry over 6 months period, 2 two month stays.... I read that you can extend the two months stay by a month..... So does this mean I can use this visa to have two 3 month stays? 

Thanks for your time!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The Thai multi entry tourist visa (METV) allows UK citizens to enter Thailand multiple times over a 6-month period, typically granting two 60-day stays. Additionally, it is possible to extend each 60-day stay by an extra 30 days, potentially allowing for two stays of up to 3 months each. Users in the comments confirm that with proper border runs, one could achieve close to 9 months in Thailand using this visa.

Yes. And if timed correctly you can get close to 9 months out of it

If you come back to Thailand just a couple of days before the visa expires, you get (the last) 60 days of stay again. And this you can extend again for 30 days at the imm. office.

With an METV you can get almost nine months with two border bounces

You bounce on the last day of the visa validity, giving you another 60 days, plus a further 30 days extension
