Can someone confirm this for me?
With the DTV visa, the maximum stay is 180 days per year, right?
And even though you can extend every 90 days (or exit and re-enter), the total annual limit is still only 180 days?
I just want to make sure that the DTV does NOT allow staying in Thailand for more than 6 months per year.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa allows for a maximum stay of 180 days per entry, and there is no official annual limit on how many days a holder can stay in Thailand. While holders must report their location every 90 days, they can leave and re-enter Thailand to obtain new 180-day entry stamps, allowing for extended stays beyond 180 days in a calendar year.
