Anonieme deelnemer 107 When you mean 1 year non-oa/x multi entry I cannot find anywhere that a stay is limited to 90 days.

I don't know which non o valid for one year where you have to leave after 90 days you mean, I never heard of it.

Why should 180 days be to have checkpoints? You hardly can call entering the country a checkpoint, allthough it is allowed for IO to check.

When they wanted that they would have used the same system as marriage, elite and retirement, so why did they "invent" something new then?

But I just tried to answer your question why immigration is acting the way they do.

I am aware there is a way you can use DTV to live in Thailand year around, but Immigration does not see it that way, just like the majority does not see it that way, otherwise Google AI would also present it that way.

@Brian *******

Just show me where it is talking about borderruns.

Maybe just check if Revolut has a bank license in your country.

@Brian *******

I don't see that mentioned anywhere, and it would not make any sense.

When they really designed it that way they would not have limited it to 180 days with one extension.

@Daniel *********

In daily live when are talking about leaving and coming back they mean they go somewhere else and stay there until they return for another stay. The useless trip to the border and back, only to get another 180 days is completely legal, but cannot be seen as normal use.

You seem to be focussed on border runs somehow, but the official does not mention that.

When you ask Google AI for "visa live in Thailand" or "visa expat Thailand" you will see that DTV is not one of the options, so obviously it is not my personal interpretation that DTV is not meant to live in Thailand.

Where you drunk when you last checked that 1 year is 360 days?

On earth normally a year is 365 days, sometimes even 366 days.

@Daniel *********

He does not say so, you want to interpret his "other words" in that way.

Limiting it to 180 days a calender year might be a possibility, some countries do this, but it gives a lot of restrictions for people using the visa in the way it was meant, such as not usable for any course or treatment longer than 180 days.

@Daniel *********

Please show me where an official is saying DTV is to live continuously in Thailand like you suggest, I have not seen such thing.
