I’m hoping to spend 7 months in Thailand and currently trying to get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa from Canada right now but they have asked for a detailed account of what I am going to be doing during my stay. So I have asked the KPT Language school if I can pay for a 4 month course ‘Thai for Beginners’ in advance, from Canada. I was going to enrol regardless but I had wanted to do it in Thailand - but that’s fine. My question is: I was relying on applying for a 30 day extension and doing a land border bounce through an agent - after reading many posts, I am worried now. Do you think I will have issues?

Heads up!

my son and his GF have been in and out of thailand on visa exemptions for a year or so ( they do Mauy thai). long story short they came back to Australia to apply for Multiple entry tourist visa. They were approved in 3 days.. Happy - took flights to Phuket yesterday ( with flights out of the country in less then 90 days). They were totally grilled and eventually let in but told they can not return again this year! ( despite the visa being approved for 6 months). They were advised to get a DTV ( but GF under 20).

evidently to do with spending more then 180 days in one year in thailand. just thought i’d let people know.

METV

Hi everyone!

I’ll be landing in Chiang Mai on August 28th, and I’m planning to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) this Friday, July 25th, through the Royal Thai Consulate in Los Angeles.

I’ve done a ton of research and feel pretty confident about the process, but since I’m handling this entirely on my own, I’d really appreciate any first-hand experiences, especially from those who’ve applied for the METV specifically through the LA consulate.

- How long did your processing take?

- Was your proof of income or financials accepted without issues?

- Any tips on documents or mailing that helped speed things up?

Thanks in advance for any insight!✨

Just a bit confused by visa requirements and a bit of friendly advice would be appreciated, I am the original dinosaur.

I am looking at coming to Thailand towards the end of October and staying until some time in April.

I think that the 6 month tourist, Multiple Entry is probably the Visa I require?

My main issue with this is, it looks like you need to leave the country every 60 days, so I would need to do a border run twice to be able to stay for the nearly 6 months, is this correct?

If there is a better visa, or way of doing it, your advice would be appreciated.

Have a good day x

Can i apply for a mutiple entry tourist visa in Thailand or outside the country ?

Hi I am here on a multiple entry tourist visa valid for 6 months starting 2nd June. I am going to Laos via the friendship bridge for a week and was wondering if I need to apply for a re entry permit at the border.

Thanks

Hi iam planning my first 6 month trip to Thailand , I was planning on METV 6 months , just to see how i get on with my stay , get bored or not ,village life , will I get any problems with immigration with this kind of tourist visa as iam 60 years of age and can apply for a retirement visa, as I said iam tipping my toes in first, if all goes well then a dtv or non o visa.

Hi I am looking at all tourist visa options. Normally stay in Thailand under 60 days so visa excempt is ok. My next trip will include Thailand and travel by air to other SE Countries. My first Thailand stop will be approx 85 days, then travel via air out and then plan to return to Thailand for 60 days before flying back to UK.

Am I correct in reading that even on a tourist single entry visa you can only stay for 60 days each time and then need to extend?

Also same applies for 6mth multiple entry?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I’m still confused about which visa fits my situation. Can’t work on the ED Visa and i don’t currently meet the financial requirements for the DTV. Is there a visa that allows me to work remotely and stay in thailand for at six months or a year? Without the $15,000 in the bank.

Hi, please can someone confirm the length of visa I will be given in November?

I have spent 3 months in Thailand January to April, 1 month in June.

Ideally would like 4 months, is this possible in any scenario?
