METV Visa Question:

Hi...I'm Ken - a traditional 6 month tourist visitor to Thailand. Had to pay a 10k bribe to BKK immigration recently to come in from a recent visa run or they would send me back to where I'd come form. They said they Red Flagged my passport for needing a long-term visa the next time I visit.

- The Retirement Visa doesn't work for me because I'm rather mobile and after getting one I'd be forced to return to TH in person to renew at a certain time each year.

Been looking into the METV....

If I understand it right

- It allows for a 6 month stay.

- I'm allowed to stay the first time 60 days...which can be extended an additional 30 days.

- Then I can return after a visa run and start the process over.

Questions:

- Has anyone in this group ever gotten one of these?

- Do I understand it right?
