Hi. I am applying for the DTV under the soft power provision. On the application in the travel information sections n it asks for the intended date of arrival and the intended date if departure. For the intended date of departure do I need to put 180 days since the stay is renewed every 180 days OR do I put the 5 years? Thank you in advance for any insight you may offer.

TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for the DTV visa under the soft power provision, you should indicate the intended date of departure as five years. However, be aware that this can vary depending on the consulate or embassy. Some applicants who indicated a departure date of 180 days were instead granted multi-entry tourist visas.

Put five years, but it determines on the consulate/embassy you use. Some people that listed under 180 days were given multi-entry tourist visas instead.

no it needs to be within the initial 180 days like any other visa you apply. Regardless if you plan to extend or not. DTV is no different that way….
