Good morning lovely people. Just one more question, based on something I just noticed on another post here. If I'm on a METV is it necessary to buy a 30 day visa extension at Immigration after the first and second 60 days have lapsed ,or is it simpler/ cheaper to just leave the country each time? I'm assuming that it's easier by air,to make sure I get a re-entry permit. Thank you again.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The necessity of purchasing a 30-day extension on a METV after the initial 60 days is a matter of personal preference. Some users prefer extensions for convenience and cost-effectiveness, especially when planning to stay for extended periods (up to 9 months), while others may opt for 'border bounces' to reset their entry. It's noted that as long as the METV is valid, a re-entry permit is not needed for re-entry into Thailand.
