Will my passport be stamped differently with a METV compared to tourist exempt stamps?
Hi I’m arriving this Wednesday with my newly acquired METV . Can I ask if my passport will be stamped in the same format as my previous ones ( which were the tourist exempt stamps ) or will my stamp be different ?
I’m only asking in order that when I pass through immigration I can check I have been given the correct stamp and duration of 60 days as I understand if I don’t check before leaving the immigration desk I can’t change it later if it’s incorrect.
Please guys no acidic or rude comments about this subject as this is a concern for an overthinker like me . Thanks in advance 👍

The user is concerned about how their passport will be stamped upon entering Thailand with a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) compared to previous tourist exempt stamps. They want to verify that they will receive the correct 60-day stamp and understand the importance of checking it at immigration before leaving the desk. Community comments confirm that the stamp will be similar, with a handwritten addition for the type of visa, and share tips on the TM30 form and nuances related to entering under METV.

It will be the same except a hand written TR (tourist visa) Mine is the same except it has a hand written DTV and I get 180 days. Always best to check the dates in the stamp before leaving as it is difficult and time consuming to get mistakes rectified. Every new entry under a METV will require a fresh TM30 even if you stay at the same address. This will only be an issue if you plan to extend by 30 days. If you don't plan an extension then the TM30 is irrelevant. If you leave and re-enter at the very end of your 6 month expiry date you can get almost 9 months stay from an METV.

I don’t have a tourist exempt stamp to compare it to, but you should receive a stamp for 60 days. Here is the stamp I received when I arrived with my METV.
