ORIGINAL POSTER

Thanks for approval 😊

Quick Q about METV I hear some rumours that you will need to leave Thailand for min. 7 days to get another 56 days entry on a METV - anybody else heard about this or had issues ? - in my case I have a 4 days trip to KL booked to get another entry (my 3rd one) should be ok I guess also I don’t have any 30 days extensions from immigration on this METV.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about the need to leave Thailand for a minimum of 7 days to obtain an additional 56-day entry on a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV), sharing that they have a 4-day trip to Kuala Lumpur planned and questioning if this will suffice for re-entry.
