ORIGINAL POSTERHi 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) for UK citizens allows for multiple entries over a 6-month period, each stay lasting up to 2 months. However, it is possible to extend the 2-month stay by an additional month, which means that if planned correctly, one could potentially have two stays of up to 3 months each by utilizing border bounces.

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

hi John,how do you get the nine months from it ?Peter ****************
@Jason *****
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.Big****

Can a ln onward ticket be within 90 days rather than 60 days?Peter ****************
@Big****
Mmm, I must admit I never read that with a multi entry Tourist visa you still need the '3 proves' (20kเธฟ (or equivalent money) cash, Prove of stay and onwards ticket within 60 days out of Thailand) with a border hop/bounce. In my thoughts it would be a bit strang with that visa. Visa exempt is a different story. But.....y'll never know. Maybe better ask at the Thai Visa Advice group (without 'and everything else'). There are some very knowledgeable people.Jason ******
