Dwayne Primeau If you are over 50 you need a Non-O visa based on retirement or marriage to a Thai national. Other than that a DTV look at the evisa website for requirements.

I am looking for the same thing to be able to stay in Thailand for six months every year from November to end of April

Would an METV

Be the thing I am looking for/ which gives you a 60 day entry +30 day extensions up to six months

If this is correct, please answer yes, or no

Blessings to all

Ted P E Tilden Jr. The answer isn’t just ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

The METV will work but you need to get 30 day extensions. Also need to leave the country at least once in the 6 months. Also, they may not grant you an METV each year.

Michele Gramaglia You must apply from outside Thailand via the Thai embassy evisa website.

Michele ***********

Scallywag-BKK ok thank you...but there are many documents for the Visa

Scally*******

Michele Gramaglia Not really, the website will tell you everything you need. It's a very straightforward processing.

🙏 Could the admin please make sure that people provide enough context so that others can give a proper answer.

鹰单飞 You new around here ? Good luck with that 👍

Alan Rothwell I can’t improve on that

Alan Rothwell The admins are clearly active, as I've now noticed from them blocking posts. And I've finally run out of patience.

Alan **********

鹰单飞 The are active, but mostly about comments that shouldn't be posted.

I expect it would take a lot of time their own personal time for them to disallow posts that don't have all the pertinent info/questions until they could approve them, or go back and forth with th e OPs trying to extract all the proper info. <----- that is likely outside their pay grade. <--- just my guess as a former mod elsewhere..........

There isn't a 6 month visa per se. The closest you can get is a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) which is valid for 6 months but you get stamped into Thailand for 60 days every entry while it remains valid. You can extend each entry by 30 days at a local immigration office then you must leave but can come right back again

Ted *******************

@John *********

So you’re saying METV John just to be clear you can get a six month visa but it’s really a 60 day visa with 30 day extensions so you can get multiple 30 day extensions is up to six months?? -

Gerry ********

Ted P E Tilden Jr. If you time it right, you can get a final 60 day entry shortly before the visa expires, so it can last over 6 months.

Sylvia ********

Ted P E Tilden Jr. not exactly, you get 60 days then extend at immigration for 30 days more. So that is 3 months, you then leave the country for a few days and return then start the same procedure again, 60 + 30 days making a total of 6 months stay

Martyn *********

Dave Flago second extension on visa exempt are given 7 days to depart thailand

Sylvia ********

Dave Flago certainly without a visa yes

Dave *******

Sylvia Corley been multiple reports that tring to extend second time 30 days they only give you 7days

There is no 6 month visa. Closest to it is the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa.

Jan Kenneth Nesland what I wrote. But it isn't a 6 month visa in the meaning that she could stay six months without leaving. It is valid for 6 months.

You added that last sentence after I replied. Yes, a METV is a six months or 180 days visa, but each entry allows a stay of up to 90 days, including the 30-day extension.
