I've got a reply from the official that the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuala Lumpu does not issue a Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa. ---- TOPIC CLOSED ----

Has anyone obtained a Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa from Kuala Lumpur or Penang recently (2024)? What were your experiences? I've checked through the official websites on visa type and requirements section, and didn't find any details about METV, only for SETV. I am unsure whether they can issue METV or only SETV. Thank you in advance.

Thank you.

May I ask which country did you apply from? Thanks in advance.

The latter is correct. She can stay 179 days and then fly out somewhere and fly in again, it will re-activate another 180 days. Do not recommend to stay nearly 6 months and leave for 2 months and come back to stay another 6 months and so forth because the UK immigration can refuse the entry if they think this case is not a genuine travelling/visiting even though she hold a 10 years visa.
