1 Year into DTV. 2nd Re-Entry

Next year, late January, I will have to do my 2nd re-entry.

I’ve heard some say you have to leave the country for 5 days on 2nd re-entry due to the visa being “360” day.

I’ve also heard others just do a day or so then come back.

Does anyone have any info on this? I will most likely do my re-entry through Ranong - Myanmar if I can do just a day trip 🙏🏻
Answer summary
The discussion revolves around the re-entry requirements for a 1-Year DTV visa in Thailand. There are varying opinions on how long one needs to be outside the country for the second re-entry, with some suggesting a minimum of 5 days while others claim that even a day trip, particularly through Ranong to Myanmar, is sufficient. The conversation highlights experiences of other travelers who have successfully done re-entries without issues, suggesting that the scrutiny mainly depends on individual immigration officers.

Doesn't matter really if 3 or 5 days. It's totally the pattern that is scrutinized at the moment and it's up to the IO if they care or not

And even when they don't like the pattern, as long as you comply with all requirements, they might question you, but not deny you.
