Can I extend my 6-month METV by doing a border run on July 10, after arriving in Thailand?

METV Visa Extension Thailand Immigration Border Run U.S. Citizens in Thailand Visa Validity Visa Rules

Jun 21, 2019

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I’m from the US & have a 6 month METV. Question is: when the consulate issued it, the valid from & to dates were Dec 27 to June 26. We arrived on Jan 15. According to our last stamp in, it is good until Jul 11. We would like to go out the day before (July 10) & get 60 more days on the visa. Is that possible? Or should we do the border run on June 25?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the validity and potential extension of their 6-month Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) for Thailand. They arrived in Thailand on January 15, with the visa valid from December 27 to June 26 and a last stamp extending their stay until July 11. They are considering whether to do a border run on July 10 for an additional 60 days or to do it prior on June 25.
