What Are the Limitations on Border Runs with a METV Visa in Thailand?

Hi everyone,

I have a question about border runs.

I use the METV visa and as you know, with this visa you have to leave every 60 days. In 2020 i will have to go out twice, on February 15th and April 10th, before returning to Italy at the end of April.

Later, i will return to Thailand at the end of October and i should have the need to go out at the end of december.

I read somewhere that you can only do two border exits every calendar year and in my case the exits from the border would be 3 ( february april end december).

Do you confirm this limit of two exits per calendar year or does this limit refer only for the same visa ?

In my case the third exit of the year would be with a different visa.

Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on the limit of two border exits per calendar year while using a METV visa, as they plan to make three exits in total, with the last one planned under a different visa. They received comments indicating that the limit of two exits refers to entering and exiting by land without a visa and does not apply to multiple exits on the same METV visa.

you can enter exit on the VISA as many times as you want to and it doesn't count against the TWO entries you can do by land in a year without a visa.
