Will it look strange when extending my METV if my TM 30 shows a later stay date?
Looking for advice. My girlfriend and I are here on an METV. Our first sixty day visa is up November 22. We are planning to go to Krabi for 30 day extension around November 12 or so. We are hoping to use our METV multiple times by extending once and then leaving twice so that we can stay in Thailand till around March 1. Obviously at the discretion of Thai immigration.
We rented a small apartment till March 1 so that is the date our landlord put on our TM 30 document. My question is: will it somehow look weird when we go in to get our 30 day extension on November 12, and our stay date at our apartment is till March 1?

shouldn't have any issue getting the 30 day extension on a 60 day entry stamp from an METV at Krabi. Immigrations doesn't care what is put as far as the check out date on a TM30. You'll be fine

appreciate the advice thank you! Also, is it better to actually fly out of Thailand and then come back in or just use a land border crossing? I’ve read conflicting things online …Activity
