DTV 180 day rule....

At the 180 day point, does the Holder leave Thailand for a week or so, then re enter for another 180 day days? ..and repeat for 5 years.

Or,

Is the Holder only allowed 180 days per 365 day year (5 periods of 180 in 5 years) so must leave for a long period before returning?

Thanks
Answer summary
The DTV visa allows holders to stay for 180 days each time they enter Thailand, with no limit on the number of entries per year. There is no requirement to stay out of the country for a specific period before re-entering, meaning a holder can leave and return on the same day to receive a new 180-day stamp. Alternatively, a holder may apply for a 180-day extension from the local immigration office.

There is no 180 day "rule."

The DTV visa gives you 180 day permission to stay each and every time you enter Thailand. Whether you enter 1 time or 50 times in a year, you will get a brand new 180 day stamp every time. There is no limitation. If you leave Thailand you do not have to stay out for a week, you don't even have to stay out for 1 day. You can return the same day and get a new 180 day stamp. Or you don't have to leave at all and can apply for a 180-day extension from your local immigration office one time per entry, but leaving and returning is much easier.
