ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, with a DTV visa, you need to exit Thailand at least every 180 days. Each entry provides a 6-month stamp until the end of the 5-year visa period. You also have the option to apply for an extension before the 180-day period ends, but you must leave Thailand before the extension expires to avoid overstaying.
