ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
While on a DTV Visa in Thailand, you must exit the country every 180 days to avoid overstaying your visa. Each entry provides a six-month stamp valid until the end of the visa's five-year duration. You can obtain an extension before the 180-day mark, but you must leave the country before the extension expires.
