First I’d like to thank the mods for all their time and answers, it’s been really helpful reading through a bunch of the posts, it’s the most accurate info I’ve gotten with a ton of conflicting info out there.
With that all said, I’d still like to 100% confirm what I believe to be true.
I am looking at the METV.
- This will allow me entry and exit for 6 months from the issuing date
- entry and exits unlimited but cannot stay longer than 60 days at any point of the 6mo
- must have an onward flight for the first 60
- must show accommodations for first part of the trip
- if I returned from being out of Thailand, on day 179, I then have 60 days from that point in time and potentially 30 days of extension (subject to immigration officer) for a total of close to 9 months
Can someone please confirm for me if all these are true? If not, what am i not understanding ?
My follow up questions are:
- does the METV restrict me from going back to Thailand on a SETV after the 180 days or ~ 270 days are up within the same 365 day period?
- does the METV clock run for one year, meaning, if I get it issued Feb 10 2024, can I then apply for the METV again back in my home country on Feb 10, 2025? Or are there restrictions applying for back to back METVs?
I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance !
