How does the METV visa work for leaving and re-entering Thailand?

If you leave after every 90 days(with 30 days extensions) and leave just before your 6 months is up ,then you should get another 60 days + extension. Only my understanding 😎

I’m on the METV. Each time you arrive in Thailand you receive 60 days. You can extend the 60 days at immigration for another 30 days. Giving you 90 days in a row. At that point you will have to leave Thailand and come back in. When you come back you will receive another 60 days which you can also extend again for 30 days. At which point you will have to leave again.

Make sure you fill out a new TDAC each time you come back into Thailand.

I am on my second 90 day stretch with a break of one week in between visits.

Haven’t encountered any problems so far with immigration.

I see you've done your research!!

you go, you come. Nothing to it. You have to leave the country every 90 days (60 + 30). The last time I used one of those, I found it cheaper and easier to do border bounces every 60 days instead of messing around with immigration.

They're good for 9 months if you get your last stamp the last day the visa is valid (6 months + 30 months

3 x60 days after 60 days you must leave Thailand then come back for another 60 days

What is this page all about??

The combination of bickering and misinformation is astounding. Very few accurate responses for the OP to get the reply that he asks for.

It’s a shambles and the admin really should clean up their act !!

You can get 9 months out of it if you apply for it just before you leave and do a border run just before it expires

So you've applied for a visa and you don't know what your entitled to by having this? Really?

This is a 6 month visa, but every 60 days (actually 58 or 59th day max) you must leave the country. You do t have to do anything when you come back to Thailand you will be stamped in for another 60 days. Just print out your visa and keep it with your passport for immigration.

A METV is a multiple entry tourist visa valid for six months from the date of issuance. Each time you enter Thailand during that period you will normally be stamped in for up to 60 days. You can also apply for a 30 day extension at your local immigration office.

When your permitted stay expires you must leave Thailand. If you re-enter while the visa is still valid, you will receive a new 60 day stay. This can be repeated as long as the visa remains within its six month validity.

Why the talk of Non-O retirement and the DTV visas? The OP has a METV.

CONTEXT CLUES! He meant to type re-entering.

You got a multi entry tourist visa, what do you mean reitering?
