Hey! 🖐 How many times a year do you cross the border on DTV?

I want to rent an apartment and move to Bangkok. However, I'll be returning to Europe for about a week every two months (work/family). I'm wondering if immigration will have a problem with me leaving, returning a week later, and on average, I'll probably do this 7 times a year.

Has anyone had problems entering Thailand so frequently?
Answer summary
The post discusses the frequency of border crossings on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) for someone planning to move to Bangkok while returning to Europe every two months for work and family. The community responses indicate that traveling in and out of Thailand frequently—up to 7 times a year—is generally acceptable under the DTV, as it is designed for such flexible travel. Most users report no immigration issues with frequent entries, and several confirm that the DTV allows for multiple entries, supporting a lifestyle that includes both remote work and travel. However, it's mentioned that compliance with any specific requirements tied to the DTV, such as courses related to the visa, is important to avoid complications during reentry.

I do exactly this. Travel back and forth every ~ 3 months. No problems whatsoever - on the contrary: this is what this visa is for, a multi-entry tourist visa with a permit to work remotely for foreign clients / employers is not for long term residence, it’s for exactly what you will be doing.

Should be fine but once you fill your passport it's annoying as you'll have to carry the old one around as they won't transfer it to the new one

If you’re already DTV approved you’re using as intended

I think what you plan to do is exactly how DTV was intended.
