Dear Members,

My METV visa is expiring in OCT, 18. I am seeking advice, can I renew/extend it while I am in the country. If yes what will be the procedure?

Thanks.

Answer summary

The METV visa cannot be renewed while in Thailand. However, you can perform a border run just before the visa's expiration date to obtain an additional 60 days of stay, which may then be extended by another 30 days at an immigration office.

You can not renew a visa. You can make another border run just before the Valid until/Enter before date on the visa to get another 60 days of stay, which you can extend with another 30 days at Immigration office.
