What proof of departure do we need for the METV application regarding the initial 60 days and subsequent stays in Thailand?

Justin Baker it gives multiple entries over a 6 month period and, being a tourist visa, is not meant to be used to "live" in Thailand long term

Justin Baker It's a visa that's valid to use for 6 months but it only gives you a 60 days stay each time you enter Thailand within those 6 months

Justin Baker it is not actually a six month visa, it is a multi entry tourist visa, maximum 60 days per entry for six months, made for people who want to travel around neighboring SEA countries and come back to Thailand as a base before returning home. It's not meant for someone to stay in Thailand six months a year. A six months stay is not tourist, that's a resident and you need the appropriate visa to be a resident. At 180 days in Thailand you are also required to file income taxes in Thailand.

Laurie Norton admission into Thailand is up to the immigration officer you are standing in front of at the time. They will have information from your passport and admissions to Thailand. What they are frowning upon is people trying to live in Thailand on a tourist visa. I have been getting non immigrant visas for twenty years now. The only time I didn't have one was this year as I found out about a biopsy in December then I went to book a flight and I found a good fare departing on New Year's day. I didn't have time to get a visa online with all the holidays that the Thai Consulate was closed for during those two weeks, so I arrived visa exempt and had a return flight for 90 days. The immigration officer was not happy with that. She said to get the proper visa, your Thai wife won't save you next time. I ended up changing visa types in Thailand to a non Immigrant and then got a one year extension of permission to stay. I already had Thai bank accounts, which is necessary to change visa types in the country.

@Laurie *******

It would be the first departure that they're looking for. And if you don't or cannot upload the trip to Thailand, the first trip out, and the trip back, have it ready if they ask you for it after you submit.
