Already did mate. Travelled in and out from January 12 to mid August on a METV and was told by immigration that I had the "correct tourist visa". 🤣 Then I got my long term visa and haven't left yet. I would only have had trouble if I were abusing the visa exempt entry or doing something wrong. You can't just keep getting METV over and over by the way lol. I wasn't, we were tourist till we decided to stay in June. Two months later we were all set on a long term visa. 🤷‍♂️ It pays off to do your research because i knew I was coming on an extended trip.
not true, I just did it for 9 months. It is specifically made for entering Thailand for a 6 month period as much as you want, last entry lasting 90 days. We were praised at the border every time for having the proper visa. 🤣💯
We were literally still tourists traveling the country deciding if wanting to live here long term. It was exactly the right visa for the situation.
yeah to get there I just flew from Bangkok. You can do visa run buses from Pattaya to Cambodian border too but I’m not sure how easy it is getting the right dtv stamp on a land crossing.
