Does leaving Thailand on a DVT visa reset my 180-day stay period?
Just a quick confirmation.
I have a DVT visa,been here for 25 days and have come to Laos for a few days.
When I return back into Thailand,I restart my 180 days again.
Is that correct

Correct. Every time you leave Thailand and return, you get 180 days stamp. Just beware of your Thai tax liability.

You don't restart anything. Each entry is 180 days stamp

isn’t that what he said, only not in your exact words?

@Wayne *******
no because you're not restarting anything. The first stamp ended when you left. You aren't restarting it. You're getting a completely new one.Brandon ************
@Wayne *******
terminology is critical for government processes. The wrong word means the completely wrong answer that can result in fines, jail time, deportation or even being banned from Thailand. Better to correct the terminology and make sure the correct question receives the correct answer for everyone involved. It's not pedantic, it's critical.Wayne ********
@Brandon ***********
yes he is. He’s restarting the countdown to 180 days on the new stamp. you know his phraseology doesn’t have to be perfect for someone to know what his intentions were to say. Are you an English teacher?Gordon *******
