ORIGINAL POSTER

Today I entered my Visa DTV for the third time after the 180-day period expired. I flew to a neighboring country last night and returned this morning, right after changing the date to the next day. I completed the entry document without any problems and received a stamp for another 180 days. No questions or additional requests.
