What is a good company to help me get the DTV? Also, are you only allowed 2 visa runs per year? We are planing to go from Thailand to Japan then from Japan back to the states and then from the states back to thailand and then from there to china... all before the end of the year. Do you think we will get flagged?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses options for obtaining a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) and the rules regarding visa runs from Thailand. Several commenters suggest that a multi-entry tourist visa (METV) may be sufficient for the user's travel plans, as it allows for multiple entries throughout the year. There are questions about the need for a visa run if holding a DTV, which is noted to be valid for five years.

If you have a DTV why would you need a visa run? The DTV is five years

So quick to jump to conclusions and be negative. The question about the visa runs was a separate question having nothing to do with getting a DTV thats why I said ALSO. Maybe I worded it wrong, I apologize but I was honestly just asking a genuine question. Thats what this place if for, is it not?

If all you need a visa for is those tourist trips, get a tourist visa like a METV.

Well depending on the length of time between trips. it seems if there is a visa to cover your activity you should get it to avoid the questioning/warning.

Do it yourself. It's multiple entry - it's a tourist visa. They want you to leave the country.
