Karl *******

Does exiting and re-entering Thailand reset the 90-day reporting requirement?

Karl *******

@Ronnie **************

No you're not. You get stamped on for 180 days, and need to report after 90 days if there consecutively, but no need to report after arrival.

Can I bypass the check-in counter with a DTV visa when flying to Bangkok?

Karl *******

He was simply responding (quite rationally) to my point about it potentially being related to visa waiver, in which case a return or onward ticket MIGHT be required, even if he has a pending DTV application. The airline wouldn't know about any DTV.

How long do you need to leave Thailand before returning to get a fresh visa stamp after your 180 days are up?

Karl *******

@John ***************

Hundreds have. Soon, thousands. You can stay permanently, other than perhaps a day or two per year. But - careful of potential local tax regulations, if you're in the country more than you're not. Usual thing.
