ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user applied for a DTV Visa (workcation) at the Tokyo embassy, but received a Tourist TR visa instead, valid for 6 months. They inquire about the rules regarding the length of stay, specifically whether they can remain in Thailand for the entire duration without leaving every 60 days or if they need to exit and re-enter Thailand to extend their stay. Responses indicate that with planning, it is possible to extend the tourist visa multiple times (60 days initially, then extend for 30 days, and possibly do border runs). There are varying opinions on the legality of working in Thailand while holding a tourist visa.
