I have a friend applying for a METV in Canada (Ottowa). METV will allow her 6 months in Thailand (from first entry date), but her understanding is she will have to leave the country every 60 days (multiple entry). On her application form for METV should she put her length of stay to be less than 60 days and then plan her travel accordingly?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A friend applying for a Thai METV from Canada needs clarification on how to fill out her application regarding her intended length of stay, given that she will need to exit Thailand every 60 days. Comments suggest that while the visa allows for a 6-month stay, technically, the duration starts from the visa's stamp date, not the date of entry into Thailand. Therefore, it is advisable for her to indicate a shorter duration and plan her travels to comply with exit rules, with some suggesting she could extend her stay for an additional 30 days upon application at the immigration office.
