We are leaving for Thailand 🇹🇭 in early January 2025 and returning to the USA 🇺🇸 on the end of April.

Our plan is to enter under the visa exempt/get 60 day stamp, travel to Laos 🇱🇦 in early March by air and return several days later and hopefully receive another 60 day stamp and return home at the end of April.

Has anyone left Thailand 🇹🇭 and returned a second time under the visa exempt and received a 60 day stamp both times?

Or should we get a multi entry tourist visa that’s good for 6 months and get stamped in each time for 60 days????

Any and all comments will be appreciated.

I usually enter Thailand on a multi entry tourist visa, looking at the dtv visa ,i work in England on a 6 month contract will i qualify for the dtv,or just stick with the metv,mant thanks

Hi all,

I’m looking to do a border bounce in a few days. I’m currently on a Multi Entry Tourist Visa from the UK. I’m planning on flying from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur and back again. Ideally I would like to do this in the same day. Will this be a problem? Is it possible to run into issues with immigration flying in and out on the same day? Do I at least need to stay a night or 2?

Advice will be very much appreciated.

Hi, I'm looking into getting a multi entry tourist visa this year. The Thai Consulate in America is saying I need to have a return ticket and proof of accommodation. Is this only for the first time leaving? If I plan to stay for 6 months can I give them a flight out 7 days after I arrive to Cambodia, and 7 days of accommodations? Then come back? Will they ask where I am staying when I re-enter Thailand? Also the LA consulate does not mention proof of accommodations in their requirements, but I click on a link and get to the Washington DC consulate and they mention proof of accommodation. The problem is I don't know where I am staying beyond the first 5 or so days.

Hello, i want to ask for Multi entry Tourist Visa. In the e-visa form they say that i should provide a genuine reason for asking the multi entry, if not they will give me only the single entry without any refund.

My reason is that i'd like the travel all the south east asia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, i'm a digital nomad and i'm for now just like to live some months in thailand and visit multiple areas.

Is this a valid reason in your opinion? I just want to avoid to waste my money

p.s. I didn't ask for the long term visa because the elite visa is too expensive, i read also about a digital nomad visa but i don't make the minimum money required to ask it (80K$)

Hello 👋🏻

I'm from France. Ihave a question concerning the mutli entry tourist visa. Is it possible to enter in Thailand, stay 2 months (with extension), get out through the border 2 times and get 2 more months (with extension) each time with the same visa ?

Thanks !

👋 just joined and hoping for some insight into my best option for spending 6 months a year in Thailand 🇹🇭 from November to the end of April

I have an idea but open to hear other opinions, I have been climbing in Railay Bay and Tonsai Bay for over 25 years and now I’m at an age that allows me more me time!

My budget is limited so nothing extraordinary expensive

Traveling in/out with my METV which is finished now. Will I get 2 more visa exemption crossing by land or do my previous land border crossing on a METV already used that contingent up?

Hello!

I spent 4 months in Thailand (visa exempt 30+30 extension x2), then had to go back to Europe. While in Europe, I applied for Multi Entry Tourist Visa. I had my flight to Thailand already booked, as stated in my visa application. The processing ended 1 day after I arrived in Thailand. So, I entered with another visa exempt, although I have a Tourist Visa fully approved now.

Should I go to immigration office to inform them I have a Tourist Visa to change status? Or should I just stay in Thailand with visa exempt, then fly out and re-enter enter using my new tourist visa?

Thank you for suggestions.

METV (Multi Entry Tourist Visa) Questions:

US passport if it matters.

1. I have read you can get up to 9 months on this visa if you do it right, is this true? What is the procedure? I’m assuming it involves extending at the right moment and then leaving.

2. You have to exit every 60-90 days? Are there ever any issues on re-entry via air with this visa (BKK or DMG)?
