METV Question.

Anything to be done besides leave every 60 days ?

Any TM filing or things of the sort ?

Thank you.
Answer summary
For those on a METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) in Thailand, staying beyond the standard 60-day period can be achieved through several options. Besides leaving every 60 days, it is possible to apply for a 30-day extension at immigration, but it is crucial to ensure that you leave the country before 90 days from your last entry. Additionally, each time you re-enter Thailand, you will need to file a fresh TDAC (Tourist Departure Arrival Card) and meet requirements such as showing proof of funds and accommodation.

Every time up from 3 days/ 72 hours before you re-enter Thailand, you will need a fresh TDAC filled out and submitted. If you exit and re-enter shortly before the expiry of the visa validity, which is six months from the date of issue, you should get stamped in for a last 60-days stay permit

You can leave after

90 days !

Your stamp in should be for 60 days

Then

Go to immigration &

Extend another 30 days

But yes - you must exit before 90 days !

Nope, just the regular stuff like filling the TDAC, having the 20k baht, hotel booking and a flight back (out of thailand)

OP
Graham Seal I don't really need to be contuinuoulsy in Thailand for 90 days straight as I plan on taking a few trips. The 60 is more than enough so do i still need to file the TM30 ?

@Gary *****
you don't file a TM30, the person responsible for where you stay does that
