I am highly intrigued by the DTV, but what if I don't want to stay for the full 180 days? Can I pause the 180-day period and leave the country? Does it even matter? I might be misunderstanding the rule about staying for 180 days at a time over five years. Can I be denied entry as long as my visa is still valid?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) is valid for five years, allowing holders to enter Thailand multiple times and receive a 180-day stay stamp upon each entry. You cannot pause the 180-day period but can reset it by leaving Thailand and returning for a new stamp. Each entry is subject to the discretion of the immigration officer, and while you can stay for varying durations up to 180 days, ensure to exit before your stamp expires to avoid overstaying.
