Hi Everyone,

I have a few questions ref METV. I know that it’s good for 6 months with muiltiple enteries up max 60 days per entry. Is it hard to get a 30 day extension after the 60 days? I know the visa expires after 6 months, but does it become active the day it’s received or on entry?

Thank you have fantastic day!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The METV is valid for 6 months from the date it is issued, not from the date of entry. You can obtain a 30-day extension after your initial 60 days at an immigration office for a fee of 1900 baht.

the 30 day 'regular' extension is easy to get from any of the 60 day entry stamps at the immigration office for 1900baht
