How long can I stay out of Thailand with a DTV visa before returning?
While having the DTV and exiting Thailand before 180 days, how long can I stay out of the country?
Answer summary
The comments suggest that while holding a DTV visa, one can stay out of Thailand until the visa expires, and there is no specific mandatory time to remain outside the country before returning. However, some responses joke about the duration, indicating flexibility in the rules.

I’m a little confused by your question. Are you asking if there’s a required amount of time you need to stay out of Thailand before returning?

Hi, to clarify, I'm aware there's no required time to stay out of Thailand before returning, I was curious if I could stay out as long as I wanted to without it being a red flag. Hope my question is clearer nowKurt ********
Anonymous participant No, you can stay outside of Thailand for as long as you like. Your visa is valid for 5 years, and you can return under the DTV visa anytime before it expires.
