Hi Guys

Can we get Thai TIN number on DTV if we stay more than 180 days and what's the process for the same ?
Answer summary
Yes, expats can obtain a Thai Tax Identification Number (TIN) while on a DTV visa if they stay more than 180 days. It's possible to receive a TIN regardless of visa status, including tourist visas, provided there is assessable income. To apply, you should visit the nearest tax department.

no, technically not 180+ consecutively

If youre going to be pedantic be exact😀

You can stay 3 x 90days which is more than 180 but

Not consecutively but perfectly legal

it's 180 days in a calender year so leaving and coming back will mean you exceed the tax number of days within the calender year!
