a recent video done by RW4U , Chris and the Foreign Affairs person in charge , was interviewed. This is what it was said .. visa valid for 5 years , each stamp in , when you arrive , is a fresh 180 days . You can do this as oftentimes as you need , within the 5 years. Means, if you travel out of Thailand within the 180 days and come back in , you get a new stamp for a fresh 180 days . And , should you not travel out and your 180 days is ending , get a 180 days extension ( for a total of 360 days ,at the local immigration office for 1900 baht) . You will have to get out , border bounce or travel, at end of this 360 days . When you get back into Thailand, a new fresh stamp for 180 days is given again , as long as your DTV is valid. It's not based on calendar year , but a revolving system of 180 days each time you reenter the country . No fees collected when you reenter , and get stamped for the fresh 180 days . The fee for the DTV is baht . Watch the video for more information.. Retired Working 4 You ,' the truth about the new DTV visa ' on you tube ...

@Michael *******

likewise. hoping t will be soon

@Neo ***********

I too was surprised that DTV isn't available as yet in Royal Thai embassy in SG . Please let me know how you did it , if it's not imposing on you . Thank you

@Sabine ********

and you can extend it for another 180 days at immigration for 1990 baht . And go out of the kingdom and return into the country , you get stamped for another 180 days , and repeat . All this info was captured on a video , between the Thai foreign affairs officer and Chris from RW4U ... If unconvinced, go locate that video and see 4 yourself

@Jo *********

from the interview that Chris from Retired Working 4 U , with the Thai foreign affairs officer, the listed the requirements , did not asked for TM 30 and the 90 days reporting

@Bob *******

@Mark ********

@Graham ******

Retired Working 4 U just did a video in which the Thai foreign affairs person met with Chris and explained in detail about DTV

@Mark ********

yes , not necessarily to be Thai bank account. Watch , Retired working 4 U , where Chris met with the Thai foreign affairs and clarified most of the queries everyone was having .
