Hi everyone,

I’m currently in Thailand on a DTV visa and staying in Chiang Mai.

I’m planning to take regular international trips (around 1–2 weeks each) and then return to Thailand.

I wanted to understand from people with firsthand experience on DTV:

• Does frequent exit and re-entry have any impact on the visa or re-entry experience?

• Are there any patterns or practical considerations that immigration tends to look at?

• Any general tips for smooth re-entries while traveling regularly?

Thanks in advance for sharing real experiences.

If you've used your 60-day extension, be cautious with land border runs. My husband was denied re-entry from Cambodia but flew back from Siem Reap to Bangkok and got his 60-day stamp easily. Consider flying for a hassle-free return! ✈️😊
