ORIGINAL POSTER

I can’t find much information about the renewal process of the DTV Visa.

From what I understand, you don’t have to leave Thailand after your first 180days (you can renew it at the immigration office)

But do we need to go out the country every 180 days after the 1st renewal?

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary

After the initial 180 days on a DTV Visa, you can apply for an extension at the immigration office within Thailand. Following the first extension, you must exit Thailand and upon re-entry, you are granted another 180 days with the option to extend again. This cycle allows for a maximum stay of 360 days in Thailand before requiring an exit.

Every new entry in to Thailand gives you 1 opportunity to extend on that visit.

But you will need to provide documents and show funds, as other have already confirmed.

Easier to leave for a mini break and return.

After the first 180 days you can do an extension inside Thailand for another 180 days.

After that you need to go outside Thailand.

When you come back you get another 180 days and can do an extension again when the days expire.

So... You can stay for 360 days before you have to go outside Thailand each time you re-enter...

Is there a minimum number of days required to be out of Thailand before re-entering on a DTV visa after the initial 180 days?
