Juri1 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Hi. I'm planning on visiting Thailand with a multiple entry visa, which is valid for 6 months. As far as I understand, I can time my last re-entry so that I get almost 8 months, and then extend it by 30 days too, for a total of almost 9 months in Thailand. Is this correct? If this is my plan, am I allowed to enter Thailand with a return flight ticket for about 9 months later? (To clarify, I'm not asking for the exact date, because I understand this depends on when the visa is approved and so on. But rather, I want to know if it's around 9 months, or for example 6 months, or what?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 When you receive your METV it will have a period of validity. You need to exit and reenter just prior to it's expiry date. You don't want to apply too early for the METV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alidiver Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 To apply for a said visa you need to show proof of flight booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You obviously do not understand the question he asked, and I am having difficulty understanding why on earth you posted such an irrelevant comment.

Juri1 Posted January 7, 2023 Author Share Posted January 7, 2023 Thanks for the replies everyone. I asked a visa agency, and they said it was ok to have a return ticket for the end of the 9 month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
