Can I travel to other countries every 90 days on a Multiple Entry Non Immigrant Visa instead of returning to my home country?

@JD ******

thanks good info especially about the 90 day visa at end of 6 month METV

With a Thailand METV you don't need any sort of other document or permission to get into Thailand. Your passport will just be stamped as having entered. The METV gives you a 60 day stay every time you Exit and Reenter Thailand for the 6 month life of the METV - then an Exit and Reentry just before the Expiry date of the METV gives you another 60 days. You can get a 30 day Extension to any one or all of the 60 day stays. Or you a mix and match. When you go out of Thailand to a regional Embassy / Consulate and actually get the Non Imm O Visa 90 day visa the METV is finished and the Non Imm O visa is in use when you reenter Thailand.

BUT BACK TO Travel Costs. You need to check the airlines but air tickets, travel costs, hotel room fees, etc. to any regional country to get a Thailand Visa is much the same when flying out of Bangkok. Air Asia, Thai Lion Air, Bangkok Air and others fly to most all the regional capitals.

So what is the cheapest place outside of Thailand you can fly to . Have METV so just need to get visa on arrival . Coming back not issue .

Laos Visa on Arrival is 1600-1800 Baht (I forget exactly)

You have to apply for the Non Imm O single entry 90 day Thailand visa at a Thai Embassy/ Consulate. But this Non Imm O can be obtained in Bkk

No you have to buy the Foreign neighbor country Visa on Arrival. Malaysia - Penang has no fee. Penang can be reached by a flight from Bkk via Air Asia. Agents are there that can do it all for you while you make a walking tour of old Georgetown.

Would I still have to buy visa at the border for other country's or can I just u turn without paying for a foreign visa
