TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquired about entering Thailand after leaving on January 12, 2026, following their arrival on October 14, 2025. Commenters clarified that the METV can only be applied for in the home country, while DTV applications can be made from other countries. They noted that there's no limit to the number of entries into Thailand on valid multiple-entry visas like the METV or DTV. Current guidelines affect mainly visa-exempt entries and do not apply to holders of proper visas, meaning the user can re-enter Thailand multiple times in 2026 as long as they hold a valid visa.
If you plan more theb 150 daya pr year the next 5 years and want to dont have to think about visa then Dtv is a good choice. Its good to get.
Jan ******************
You can only apply for an METV in your home country. There is no limit on how many times you can enter Thailand on a valid multiple-entry visa such as an METV or a DTV, you can enter as often as you like as long as the visa is still valid. And there is no general, formal limit on how many times you may enter Thailand in a year. The new guidelines apply only to two consecutive visa-exempt entries used back-to-back. They do not restrict entries made on a proper visa, and they do not impose any annual cap. So after your January departure, as long as you hold a valid multiple-entry visa, you can enter Thailand again in 2026 without as you want.
