Hey all! I'm planning to visit Bangkok for 3-6 months. Should I go with the destination thailand visa or the multiple entry tourist visa?
I'm coming to train muay thai, work on some personal projects, and try to make my savings last as long as I can.
If I went with the typical ME tourist visa, how much would a typical border run cost? Also, can I get 60 days + 30 extension, then do a border run and come back and do the same 60+30 days? Or is it only 60 days?
Any information is greatly appreciated! I'm getting a headache looking online so I figured I'd just make a post here haha
TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses options for staying in Bangkok for 3-6 months, comparing the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) with the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV). The METV allows for multiple entries with a 60-day stamp plus a 30-day extension, potentially adding up to 9 months total if border runs are utilized. The DTV provides a flat 180-day entry and is more costly and requires proof of funds. Various comments elaborate on costs and specific requirements for each visa, along with considerations for visa runs.
