Hi there, I got a 5 yr DTV (Digital nomad) visa at the start of the year. I was in Thailand from March - June. I have been back in the UK since (about 6 month) but I'm planning on moving back to Thailand in Feb/ March. Is there anything I need to do upon arrival? will there be any issues because i've been out the country for so long?
Answer summary
If you're returning to Thailand with a 5-year Digital Nomad visa after being abroad for about 6 months, there are no significant issues expected upon re-entry. Your visa allows multiple entries over its duration. You'll need to fill out the Travel Data Declaration (TDAC) form within 72 hours before your arrival. Upon arrival, present your visa and passport at immigration, where you'll be stamped in for 180 days.

No issues what so ever. Your visa let's you come and go as many times as you like for 5 years. You will be stamped in for 180 days. Just show your visa and passport and check the stamp before leaving the immigration area. Do not forget to complete your TDAC upto 72 hours before arriving.
