Will I receive a 60-day stamp if I enter Thailand before my tourist visa expires?

Thai tourist visa METV visa validity Thailand immigration visa extension

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey Guys, after some advice for a friend. 

I currently have a 6 month Thai tourist visa, METV. It is valid through December 12. 

I arrive in BKK October 30 and depart December 18 (50 days in Thailand). My understanding is as long as I arrive in Thailand before December 12 I will receive a 60 day visa since I enter the country before my visa expires. 

Is that statement correct?

Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user seeks clarification regarding the validity of their Thai METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) upon entry before its expiry date, specifically asking whether entering Thailand on October 30 before the visa's expiration on December 12 would grant them a 60-day stay in the country. Comments confirm that entering Thailand before the visa's expiration ensures the user would receive a 60-day stamp regardless of the visa's end date.

That sounds totally correct. The visa is used to enter the kingdom. The fact that it expires b4 you leave is not an issue.

Yes. Each entry gives you 60 days stamp. As long as the entry is made before "valid until" date.
