For the METV tourism visa do you just put your intended stay as 60 days or the whole six months ? I’m imagining they want it at 60 days?

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the METV tourism visa, you should indicate your intended stay as 60 days, since the visa is valid only for that duration upon entry. Additionally, you need to provide proof of onward travel within 60 days and documentation for any further entries if you plan to leave and re-enter Thailand. Some users also questioned the current status of the METV, suggesting it may have been cancelled, while others confirmed their own experiences with multiple entry visas.

I'm currently in Thailand on a 6 month multiple entry visa. I've used it on every visit. I answered 6 months. It's a TR60 as stamped in your passport for US passport holders.

Does the METV still exist? I am certain they cancelled this scheme last year.

And yes u have to leave or extend another 30 days with any visa including the METV.

Let us know here which nationality you are and if you could apply and get the METV

Put your first stay. Then you'll need to upload proof of a flight into Thailand, proof of a flight out of Thailand within 60 days, and proof of another flight back into Thailand. This is justification for multiple entries. Without that they can possibly issue you a single entry visa and keep the difference in price.

60 days, visa is only good for 60 days on entry.
