Hello all

couple of questions on the METV

from Uk.

Firstly can you just leave Thailand

On the 60 day and say go Vietnam

For 1 week and come back for

Another 60 days ?

Secondly how near to the end

Date of the visa can I come back

Into Thailand for another 60 days ?

Your advice would be helpful please.
Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to leave Thailand on a METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) and travel to another country, such as Vietnam, for one week. Upon returning to Thailand, you can receive another 60-day stay. The METV is valid for 6 months from the date of issuance, and you can enter Thailand anytime during that period, even on the last day.

Yes to the first question.

An METV is valid for 6 months from the date it is issued. Every time you enter Thailand during those 6 months, you'll receive a 60 day tourist visa stamp. Even if you enter the last day the visa is valid.
