Hey guys,

I'm planning to stay 3-8 months in Thailand (depending on several things, so need to stay flexible).

Due to this situation, I'm considering to get a METV.

2 months

extend 1 month

(if I want to stay longer):

visa run by air 

2 months

extend 1 month

(if I can stay longer):  

visa run by air  

2 months 

Does someone have similar experiences with this? And is this the most logical approach according to you?

I am from Holland and am a Dutch citizen.

Kind regards,
