Hi Guys

I have got DTV visa.

I have stayed in Thailand for 3 months. And I am planning to travel to other countries.

Not sure when i will return to Thailand now.

Just wanted to check do i need to return to Thailand to keep my visa active or there is no time limit for that ans i can enter whenever i want within those 5 years

?

Answer summary

The DTV visa allows for multiple entries into Thailand over a 5-year period without a limit on the amount of time a holder can stay out of the country. However, each individual entry is subject to a maximum stay of 180 days. Therefore, you can travel internationally and return to Thailand whenever you want within that 5-year timeframe.

There is no limit on the amount of time you can stay out of Thailand. You can come and go as you please within those 5 years. The only limit is 180 days per entry. Possible to extend but it looks way easier to bounce as needed.
