is it no more than 2 entries per calendar year or in a 12 month period.?

cancel it. the airline probably already cancelled it. book another fight. not thru the middle east. i guess you dont read or watch the news.

Alison Cherry Standen i think it will stay 60 days visa exempt till later in 2026.. If your going in April you okay to get 60 days.

@Randy *******

thats a stressful wait on approval. if there are any glitches on getting approved.

Karl Diekman i think the METV validity date begins when its approved not when you actually arrive . ??

Tony Cabello Thats true . if you get approved a month before your flight. you just reduced your metv visa to 5 months. then if you apply a few weeks before you fly thats alot of stress hoping you get approved in time.

I would just figure I'd get 5 months on 2 stays.

the METV is valid for 6 months from the time of approval. So if you apply to early and get approved , that

means less time in thailand. yet you also want the approval a few weeks before you fly at least. I'm considering that visa too.. You can leave after a 60 day stay then hop over to another country . then re-enter thailand and get another 60 days then extend for 30 days more. That way you'll be under the 6 month validity for the METV. I'm trying to figure out the best way to get maximum thailand stay within 6 months.

Kyle Ramsey im looking at different visas . the education visa to learn thai language would be ok. but I'd have to stay in one location for the duration of the required classes ?

just visit on a 60 day tourist visa and extend 30 days . thats 3 months to get a feel for thailand.

Why would you withdraw the required amount in your thai bank anyway. ? Anything over 800k is not frozen. Its a non issue. just freeze the $ for 4 months and you qualify. the bank or you - its all the same deal.
