DTV - Does anyone know if you need to leave Thailand for 5 days during a second consecutive border run? Is it 180 + 180 = 360 days per year allowed for DTV?
Answer summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) does not have a defined maximum number of days one can stay in Thailand, allowing for continuous residence. Users confirm that it is possible to leave and return on the same day or stay for an entire year with two border runs.
