My partner is thai and I'm planning to apply for a DTV and go to Thailand for a few years, will my partner being thai or living in one place longer term rather than moving around and living a more settled life rather than a tourist lifestyle affect the DTV re-entries/180 renewal? Provided i still match all the requirements and have the required documents for each 90 day reporting and re-entries will this be OK or is it likely to cause problems with IO's?
Answer summary
The presence of a Thai partner can positively influence your DTV visa re-entries and 180-day renewal process. Many commenters suggest that living a settled life rather than a tourist lifestyle will not negatively impact your visa status, as long as you fulfill all visa requirements, including the necessary documents for 90-day reports and re-entries. Additionally, it's advisable to have your partner write a supportive letter to immigration, demonstrating your relationship and confirming your Thai address, which can further ease the process.

It actually makes it easier. Get her to write a supporting letter to immigration explaining exactly what you've said here. Make sure you use her Thailand address (with evidence) as your thai address... you'll be sweet as bro

You are overthinking it. It is multi entry for a reason.
