ORIGINAL POSTER

Good morning guys a piece of information: if I have a thailand visa valid for 5 years 80 days a year. if I return to my country and leave thailand before 180 days then after can I return to thailand or do I have to get another thai visa?

2) if I return to thailand from my country can I stay in thailand for another 180 days before leaving or renew the thai visa (1900 baht) for another 180 days?

I write an example I stay in thailand for 110 days then I return to my country for 30 days and leave again for thailand. when I return to thailand from the date I arrived and re-entered thailand can I stay 180 days again or can I stay 180-110=70 days and after 70 days I have to renew the thai visa for another 180 days?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion clarifies that with a valid 5-year DTV visa, travelers can re-enter Thailand for up to 180 days each time they enter, regardless of how many days were previously utilized within the period. It confirms that the visa allows for multiple entries, meaning the traveler can leave and re-enter without needing a new visa.

To confused posters:- Think DTV. The OP has simply over-complicated his narrative. To the poster:- Just think 180 days you are stamped in each time you enter during the five year period

You will be stamped in for 180 days each time you enter until the visa expires

I’m assuming you’re talking about the DTV visa, which allows 180 days on entry, valid for 5 years.

If so it’s a multiple entry visa which means you can come and go as you please during those 5 years. On each entry you’ll be stamped in for 180 days. Regardless that you may have only used 110 days on your last entry you’ll get 180 days on your next entry.

Can I re-enter Thailand on a DTV visa immediately after leaving, or do I have to wait until next year?
