METV question: My METV Visa has a valid until date of 5th May and my present 60 days is to 11th April so was just going to Immigration to get a 30 day extension as need to be back in UK for 26th May for a family wedding.

However trying to get my girlfriend a travel visa in Bangkok so some extra days here would be useful.

Can I just forget about the 30 day extension and do another border run so I can then leave Thailand mid May instead of beginning of May, thank you 🙏
