ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi everyone!

I might have a rather stupid question but this visa is still new and confusing so please forgive my ignorance. 

DTV visa is a multiple entry visa and is given for 5 years. Every time you enter you get 180 days.

Does it mean 2x180 entries a year x 5 years or like I am allowed to travel and have, say, 3-4 entries a year without it affecting the overall 5 years timeline?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa is a multiple-entry visa valid for 5 years, allowing you to enter Thailand an unlimited number of times. Each entry grants you a 180-day stay. Therefore, you can potentially manage multiple entries each year without affecting the overall validity of the visa over its 5-year period.

In theory you could get six years out of this visa with an entry just before it expires and then an extension in country.
