Questions about the DTV:

👉🏽 is the visa fee for 5 years with multiple entries (or for just 1 year)?

👉🏽 does one have to proof a «soft power related activity» upon each entry or only with the first visa application?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa has a fee associated with obtaining it at the consulate, which covers a duration of 5 years and allows for multiple entries. Upon each entry into Thailand, no proof of activities related to 'soft power' is required; this proof is only needed during the initial visa application.

As far as I know the extension costs the same as the initial visa.

The fee you pay at the consulate gets you a 5 year, multiple entry DTV visa.

It's valid for 5 years from the date it's issued, it's good for unlimited entries, each entry gets you 180 days

You don't show anything when you stamp IN to the country other than your passport and the DTV

it’s correct that you don’t need to do 90 days reporting? And you can stay for a total of 360 days per calendar year with one extension or how does that work? 🙏

no it's not correct. Don't know where you saw that but you're still required to do 90 day reporting. And there's no limit to the number of days you can stay in a year. You can only get to maximum 360 days on a single entry though. If you need more time you just leave and return and get a new 180 day stamp.

as per Tod Daniels, it's only 360 days if in practice you can renew the original 180 for another 180 by leaving and re- entering ( or possibly, inside TH but nobody yet knows on this). You won't get 360 upfront.

The period of stay is 180 day per year. You can extend this with another 180 days for the same fee again.

which I said. You can stay up to 360 days on a single entry. What's your point?

you said there's «no limit to the number of stay» which can be misunderstandable. ;)

you DO have to do 90 day reporting

Sadly no one has been on a DTV long enough (seeing as the visa itself is just 76 days old 😛 ) to have gotten a 180 day extension inside the country.

SO wait until Dec/Jan when the first people with DTV's post about how the extension process went
