Just thought I’d make people aware of my journeys to SEA over the last year do that it may alleviate some worries people have about immigration and entering Thailand.

I came to Thailand mid November 2024. I spent 60 days here.

I then visited Laos for one week before flying back to Thailand.

I spent 60 days here then got a 30 day extension.

In April 2025 I returned to the UK.

TOTAL: 5 months.

In November 2025 I returned to Thailand.

After 2 weeks, I visited Vietnam and Cambodia for 3 weeks before returning to Thailand yesterday.

My visa exempt has another 60 days stamp.

I always felt like immigration would be ok with my travelling but hopefully my travelling history can help someone if they have concerns.

When applying for an METV, can your flight out of Thailand and back (within the 60 day period) be from a country other than your country of residence?
