METV gets 60 days on each entry which can be extended a further 30 days at an immigration office. That's 90 days on each entry. If the first entry is at the commencement of the visa, and the final entry in the last day of the visa, this gives 90 days x 3 = 270 days. Won't quite work at exactly 270 as you'll not be entering on the date of issue, but the sooner the first entry after issue the longer the overall stay in the country. Requires two border bounces, but no requirement to stay out of the country longer than five minutes
Why doesn't she just get a METV? All this fluffing around with 30-dayers just draws attention to a person's intent to remain in the country. Do it above board and get almost nine months from it
Are people really that naive and gullible to believe that immigration officers are not being paid off to turn a blind eye? Of course it's a bribe! Just that most refer to it as "Tea Money". I'll tell you something, the money that immigration officers are making in bribes is going to buy than tea! 😂
