Help me understand…If A DTV is good for 5 yrs multiple entry, then why do they also say only good for 180 days? Do you really have to leave and come back twice a year?

Answer summary

The conversation revolves around the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), which can be valid for 5 years with multiple entries but allows a stay of only 180 days at a time. This raises questions about whether holders must leave and re-enter Thailand to reset their stay duration. Various participants discuss the legal constraints regarding work on a DTV, with conflicting opinions on whether remote work is permissible. The discourse highlights misconceptions and provides nuances about what DTV holders can do, suggesting that despite uncertainty, some believe remote work is possible.
