Hi all,
I’m currently in Thailand with a multi-entry tourist visa which I paid for online at the Thai embassy in the UK back in April and did my first trip at the end of June (ie this was all pre the announcement of DTV and other changes in July). Since then, I have stayed in Thailand 3 times for about a month each, with 1-2 week trips back to Europe and to Hong Kong in between.
Yesterday I came back for the 4th time, and immigration was very prickly this time around and required me to purchase a (any in fact) flight out of Thailand within the current 60 day window, which I did.
Now that I’m back, I was however previously planning on doing my first (and only) 30 day extension with immigration in Bangkok in December to extend my stay into early January. After that I don’t plan on coming back to Thailand for a while.
Will there be a risk to that 30 day extension given I’m now on my 4th tourist visa stamp since June, even though I have so far never maxed out my 60 day stays and just made good use of my multi entry tourist visa until now? Or is that all not relevant. I have a TM30 covering the required period for Bangkok already.
Thank you in advance for any helpful views :)

Responses from the community assure that as long as the user is compliant with METV regulations, there should be no risk associated with applying for the extension.
