Do I need a re-entry permit for my METV when traveling to Vietnam and back?
I will go to Vietnam the 25th of december and come back 1st of jenuary. I have a METV. Do i need a re-entry permit or i can just go and come back without any additional procedure ?
Answer summary
If you hold a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for Thailand, you do not need a re-entry permit when traveling to Vietnam and returning to Thailand. The METV allows for multiple entries, and you can re-enter Thailand without any additional procedures as long as you do so before the expiry date on your visa.

you can come and go as much as you want right up until the "enter before" date and you will always be stamped back in for 60 days

What Date is of what importance to do the trick of the extra 2 months?
1- the Issue Date
2- the Enter Before Date
3- the Entry Date
Still not all clear 🤔

, don't forget you can extend that last 60 day entry by another 30 days at the immigration office for 1900baht. If you do the bounces in and out of the country at the right time you can almost get 9 months of stay out of that 6 month visa :)Marco **********

so i can get 60 days extra ! Cool.Tod *********
@Ma***
, yep, in fact you can even exit/re-enter on the exact day the visa expires and you'd be stamped in for 60 days. :) That's how that visa worksMarco **********
OPi mean the enter before date is 26 of march

OPso if my metv ends 26 of March if i exit and come back 25 of March i will get 60 days more ?
Tod *********
an METV <- multiple entry tourist visa already has the reentry built into it

OPthanks. I wanted just a confirmation, i don't want to have other problems like the overstay :)
