Overview

Multiple-entry tourist visa permitting unlimited Thailand entries over 6 months with up to 60-day stays per entry, ideal for leisure travelers and regional explorers.

The Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa (METV) allows travelers to enter Thailand multiple times within a six-month period, with each entry granting up to 60 days of stay (extendable to 90 days). Designed for leisure visitors, digital nomads, and regional explorers, the METV provides legal continuity without the burden of repeated visa applications.

The application fee is 5,000 THB with processing in 3–10 days. Each 60-day entry can be extended 30 days at a local immigration office. Work is strictly prohibited and spouses have no separate work rights. Applicants need a valid passport (6+ months validity), proof of funds, completed form, and a passport photo.

This visa is ideal for frequent travelers who intend to visit Thailand multiple times within six months for tourism, family visits, or extended holidays.
