Possible to obtain a new METV 3 months after you have used the last extension on a prior METV ?

Hi , I arrived in Bangkok yesterday after successfully getting a 90 day METV online from the Thai embassy in London last month. The immigration officer stamped TR 60 in my passport. Does that mean I have to leave after60 days just like visa exempt or can I extend it to 90 days or even better can I convert it to a retirement visa before the 60 days runs out? Please help me out as I’m confused with the whole immigration process and want to do it properly. Thanks

Good morning!

I live in Hua Hin for 6 month with a METV and has to leave the country every 2 month. This is clear?

Do I need a reentry permit any time with this visa?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone done a same-day border run in the last day or two?

I have a METV and I’m scheduled to go with Chiang Mai Border Run tomorrow, but they just notified me that their “collaborating immigration officer” won’t be on duty, so same-day re-entry isn’t guaranteed at the moment due to the unstable immigration rules.

I’m concerned because I’m not prepared for a 2-night stay, and my current extension is only valid until 11/26. Any recent experiences or advice would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi I’m arriving this Wednesday with my newly acquired METV . Can I ask if my passport will be stamped in the same format as my previous ones ( which were the tourist exempt stamps ) or will my stamp be different ?

I’m only asking in order that when I pass through immigration I can check I have been given the correct stamp and duration of 60 days as I understand if I don’t check before leaving the immigration desk I can’t change it later if it’s incorrect.

Please guys no acidic or rude comments about this subject as this is a concern for an overthinker like me . Thanks in advance 👍

Question about METV

Required proof of residency by utility bill or rental agreement. Will a bank statement do as I have none of these. HMRC tax residency letter maybe.

You get a 60 day stay and 30 day extention then have to leave. Can I then return maybe within one day with no issuses. Sounds to me like a border bounce but "legal"

Has anyone applied for METV and why do people choose DTV instead of trying the METV?

How will this “ new “ rules effect my METV,…can I still go to the land border of Malaysia, in and out the same day.

Or should I fly to Kualalumpur.

We are arriving CNX on Dec 31, with the goal of staying until first week of June. Which option would you recommend:

1. - Enter in 60 day visa exemption, leave TH on day 60, fly to northern VN for 1-2 weeks, return to CNX on visa exemption 60 days and extend for 30 days.

OR

2. Arrive on visa exempt 60 day entry, extend for 30 days, leave TH 1-2 weeks, and reenter on 60 day visa exemption.

Is there an advantage for one over the other, mostly regarding reentry? Better to leave after 60 days and try for extension on second entry?

I’ve been toiling over this and can’t see one way better than the other, but maybe I’m missing something. Thanks as always for your counsel!

Experience living in Thailand on METV

Hi guys, I currently live In Thailand on DTV but my partner is on metv until he saves up enough money for the dtv. Has anyone had any successful experience renewing your METV after it expires or will the embassy see it as a no-go? Will immigration cause issues for such case?
