Can I travel to the UK for 6 weeks after arriving in Thailand on a DTV before returning to study?
For a DTV starting in July, can I return to UK for 6 weeks after being in Thailand for July and August, and then return to Thailand middle october? I didn’t really want to do 60 day tourist as I want to be in Thailand to study commencing school in November…
Answer summary
The user inquires about taking a trip to the UK for 6 weeks after spending July and August in Thailand on a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa), returning to Thailand in mid-October to commence studies in November. Community responses confirm that with a DTV, there are no substantial restrictions on how long one can leave Thailand. Additionally, they discuss whether to book flights before obtaining the DTV, with mixed advice suggesting that it's safer to secure the visa first.

@John ********
I would do flight first if you intend to go anyway irrespective of whether you get DTV or notJohn *********
OP@Nick ******
the DTV online form is taking ages to complete. It doesnt allow me to load more than one document in a section. Ie ‘financial evidence’. I have several bank statements for different bank accountsNick *******
@John ********
i only had 1 bank statement. maybe there is a problem with the site. sorry can't help you with that one mate. good luck!John *********
OP@Nick ******
but if DTV for whatever reason fails, have to apply for a 60 day tourist visa ;assuming 60d going back to 30d)Nick *******
@John ********
no sign of that happening soon. Even if it does you can get 30 and extend it. You need to say when you want to go if you want people to advise properlyJohn **********
@John ********
up to you but I'd do the DTV firstJohn *********
OPOk thanks for the replies. So no limit as such on how long you leave Thailand..

@John ********
you are stamped in for 180 days on arrival into Thailand with a DTV Visa.Either extend it one time for 180 days inside Thailand at your local Thai Immigration office...by meeting the same requirements for the DTV visa as originally issued...
Or leave Thailand and reenter to get a new 180 days stamp.

Yes sure the visa is valid for 5 years

Yes you can
Greg ********
Yes - If you have a DTV you can come and go as you please for 5 years with a 180 day stamp each time.

@John ********
so I think you still can get free visa for 60days but if you did DTV you can in and out anytime you want to and can stay 180 daysActivity
