ORIGINAL POSTERIf I get DTV visa , can I extend my stay after 180 days ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can extend your DTV visa for another 180 days, but specific requirements for doing so are not yet clear. Some comments suggest that upon extension, you will need to leave the country briefly before re-entering to obtain a new 180-day stamp. It is generally considered easier to take a short trip or border run every six months than to rely solely on extensions.

In theory, yes. Benjamin Hart from Integrity Legal claims you can't, but unless he has some sort of inside information we don't have, then he's speculating.
What we've been told so far is that yes, you can extend once per entry for 6 months.
In practice, unless you are infirm or can't travel, you're better off traveling and doing a border run or having a vacation/holiday at least once every 6 months and then returning. Seems to be easier that way but up to you.

Yes. 1st time at Immigration.

Yes, and at the end of the extension you will be required to leave the country (even if only for a few hours) and get a new 180 day entry stamp when you return
