Will I automatically get a 30-day extension when re-entering Thailand on a multi-entry tourist visa?

Iam on a metv here ,leave Thailand after the first 60 days,i fly to Malaysia then fky bzck next day and get stamped in for another 60days, immigration at phuket airport did szk to see a hotel booking, first time in many years asked to show any booking

Listen mate, where you from? Do not listen to people who have never done it because they are clueless, they are making it up. I have just returned to Thailand (Bangkok airport) from Vietnam on a multi entry evisa. I was in Thailand for 58 days before Vietnam. I got another 60 days. A couple of questions, no problem. I have been here on multi entry evisas for over 6 months this year (2025) (3 entries). So don't listen to the know nothings. Just book your hotel and a return flight and be prepared. Now after giving you some real experienced advice. Let's see how may fu** *it's copy or even better shut up 🤔🙏. Don't worry, and put it to the back of your mind. Reading all the worst on here does not help people's mindset.

An METV multiple entry tourist visa, is valid for 6 months from date of issue, typically this visa can only be bought in your home country. As others have said upon each entry you'll be stamped in for 60 days and each entry is eligible for a 30-day extension at your local immigration office. It's hard to believe that your Visa will expire in a few weeks because it's a 6-month validity Visa. Look carefully at the Visa email you received it will have the issue date and the valid until date 6 months later.

Surely multiple entry means just that ?

What is the date your visa is valid until if it is indeed a multi entry tourist visa?

Does your eVisa expire on 26-Dec or is it your current permitted to stay date stamped in your passport? I assume it is your permitted to stay date so what date does your actual 6 month METV expire?

Definitely tourist visa and not visa waiver?

If your tourist visa is multi entry then it is a 6 month multi entry visa. When you re-enter before the visa expires you will be stamped back in for 60 days.

You don’t extend a tourist visa entry at an airport. You do that at a local immigration office.

You’ll get stamped in for 60 days and then you can apply for an extension at an immigration office. Some allow you to do so with 45 days left on your stamp. Most 30 but some only allow 7 days. Without knowing what office you’d use we can’t advise.

If you haven’t been to Thailand more than twice in the last 6 months , you shouldn’t have any worry .

Carry some cash 700USD

And have hotel booked & an onward departure ticket
