TLDR : Answer Summary

When planning your DTV visa application for 2027 and considering booking your flight, it is important to note that upon entry, you are permitted a stay of only 180 days. To extend your stay to 360 days, you will need to apply for an 180-day Extension of Stay after your arrival.

Ask again next year, you only get 180 days of stay at entry. You can apply for an 180 day Extension of Stay which makes it 360 days.
