What Is the Limit for Staying in Thailand Using the METV Yearly?

The multiple entry tourist visa is designed for people who have longer period off in their home country and like to use this longer period to travel around South East Asia. With the multiple entries during the 6 months you can make Thailand a base and visit other counties.

With the new definition of Tourist and short or longer holiday has changed it is hard to tell what is what. .

Thai Immigration still thinks a tourist is a person who has free time and some savings to spent on a holiday. Then he goes back to his home country and work again to gain income.

If you are a tourist who live all year around in Thailand, there might be a day that Immigration ask how you fund your living and travelling.

There is no official # of days allowed to stay/live in Thailand.

If you have a history of entries using various means of entry...visas of different types, exempt visa entries, extensions of stay and border runs...its totally up to the Immigration Officer you see upon arrival.

Flying into Thailand vs land border crossings greater risk for one with extensive history.

Good luck...

Im here on metv since 2015

Up to the immigration officer no "real" number the rule of thumb is live outside of the Kingdom longer than you are in it per year..
