A user is seeking advice on applying for a visa to stay in Thailand for 5 or 6 months during the winter months. The conversation highlights options such as the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV), which allows multiple entries for up to 6 months with 60-day stays per entry, extendable by 30 days. Another alternative discussed is the Non-O visa or Non-OA visa, which can offer longer stays but may have stricter requirements, especially regarding income verification and funds in a Thai bank account. Users share their experiences with visa runs and emphasize the importance of understanding the current immigration rules.

5 months  or 6 months….

you get the 60 days on entry then apply for  extension of 30 days,  5 days before your 60 days time is up…. Then leave Thailand do a board run!

Make sure it’s only the one boarder run , another 60 days granted,  possible try for another 30 days , as they are getting strick now!

Good luck 👍

John ********** · Answer

There is no visa that gives you 6 months uninterrupted inside Thailand. There's the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) that is valid for 6 months and on every entry during it's validity you get stamped in for 60 days at a time. Each entry can also be extended by 30 days at the immigration office that serves the location where you stay. It might also be worth looking at the Non-OA visa which is also Multiple Entry but gets you stamped in for 12 months, it does however require insurance, police checks etc

Jan ****************** · Answer

A simple option is to apply for a six months multiple-entry tourist visa, but that requires you to leave Thailand once and do a border bounce for a 5/6 months stay.

You could also apply for a Non O and then an extension if you hold a pension and meet the income requirement. However, as I understand it, the Swedish embassy may soon no longer issue income affidavits, in which case you would need to meet the requirement through funds held in a Thai bank account.
