Hello,

Is it true that if I get DTV and not use 180 days, let’s say only 150 days and then come back to my country and reenter Thailand next calendar year clock starts counting again? If yes this can be done through whole validity of the visa (5 years)? 

Thanks,

P.

TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, with a non-immigrant DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), you can re-enter Thailand after leaving, and each new entry grants you a fresh 180-day stay. This reset occurs each time you re-enter within the visa's 5-year validity, regardless of how many days you've previously spent in Thailand during that period.

It isn't 180 days per year... days in country for the calendar year is irrelevant for the visa (but not for other things such as taxes)

You get 180 days each time you enter Thailand. You can enter as frequently as you like.

So in theory, you could stay up to 180 days, leave, come back and stay again up to 180 days and continue repeating this for the full 5 years. Stay 1 day, 20 days, 74 or 180 doesn't matter.

You will get 180 days on every entry within the validity (5 years), doesn't matter how many times you leave and re-enter.
