I'm about to apply for the multi entry tourist visa but I'm slightly unsure of the rules. Does this mean I get six months without needing to leave the country? I'm also wondering about booking a return flight back to uk, the consulate said they don't require that info but I assume immigration want to see proof I'll be leaving so what's the latest date I should book? Any advice gratefully received
TLDR : Answer Summary
The multi-entry tourist visa (METV) allows travelers to stay in Thailand for 60 days at a time, with the possibility of extending that stay through border runs. The visa itself is valid for six months from issuance, during which time the holder can enter and exit multiple times. Travelers do not necessarily need to show proof of onward travel upon entry, although having a return flight booked may be advantageous. It is crucial to time the visa application closely to travel plans, as the six-month period begins from the Visa's issue date.
