Does a 6-month visa grant a new 60-day stay after a week in Japan?
When you have a 6 month visa, you fly to Japan and stay for a week. When you fly back to Thailand, does the 60 days start over?
Answer summary
Yes, if you hold a 6-month multiple-entry tourist visa, you will receive a new 60-day stay upon re-entering Thailand after flying to Japan for a week. Additionally, you can extend this stay for another 30 days, allowing for a maximum of 90 days for each entry.

Yes. You get 60 days every time you enter within the visa validity. Note you can also extend each entry for another 30 days (total 90 days per entry) which may save you a trip if you want to maximize your time in Thailand.

yes, you can get almost 9 months of stay out of a 6 month METV if you play the dates right for the exits/re-entries and get a 30 day extension on the last entry.J *****************
If you have a METV valid for 6 months, can that visa be extended at immigration before it expires and during a valid 60 day stay while in Thailand?

As long as you enter before the valid until/ enter before date on the visa, you will get 60 days of stay.

I guess you are talking about the Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa. In that case, yes, with every entry you will get the permission to stay 60 days.

I would say, this depends on the embassy/consulate where you get it from. Swiss consulate, where I got it from, required an onward ticket within 60 days.

OPIf applying for my METV, and lets say it starts October 25th, does my onward ticket has to be dated 6 months later or 60 days?
Darnell ********
