How many days are left on this entry?
Every time you enter Thailand on a DTV you get 180 days. Put in the date you arrived and this works out the day you are on, how many are left, and the date you have to be out by.
The date stamped in your passport on arrival. Every entry gets its own 180 days, so if you have been out and back, use the most recent one.

Leaving and coming back?
A border run resets this clock and your 90 day report with it — but the TM30 has to be done again too, and the arrival card does not do it for you. The DTV Guide has the whole thing, including where to go from Pattaya and what a run actually costs.
The DTV Guide — £9.99The 180 days, and the other 180 days
- Your entry date is day one. So the last day you are permitted to be here is 179 days after it, not 180. It is one day, and it is the one people get caught by.
- Leaving resets it completely. Come back and you get a fresh 180 days, however briefly you were away. That is why a five year visa can cover five and a half years.
- Extending costs the same as a new visa. You can add another 180 days at immigration, but the fee matches applying again. Leaving is cheaper.
- This is not the tax residency count. That one runs across a calendar year, adds up every day you were in the country, and does not reset when you cross a border. Same number, completely different clock.
Rules change and immigration officers have discretion. This is a date calculator and a plain-English summary, not legal advice.
Common questions
How long can I stay in Thailand on a DTV?
Up to 180 days per entry. Your entry date counts as day one, so the last day you are permitted to be in the country is 179 days after it. The visa itself runs five years, and there is no limit on how many times you come back.
Does the 180 days reset if I leave?
Yes. Every time you enter you get a fresh 180 day stamp, and it does not matter how briefly you were away. That is why border runs work, and why a five year visa can cover five and a half years of living here.
Can I extend the 180 days instead of leaving?
You can extend by another 180 days at immigration, but the fee is the same as applying for the visa again. Almost nobody bothers, because leaving and coming back costs a bus ticket.
Is the 180 day stay the same as the 180 days for tax residency?
No, and this is the thing people get wrong most often. Your stay is counted per entry and resets when you leave. Tax residency is counted across a whole calendar year, adds up every day you were in the country, and does not reset when you cross a border.
What happens if I overstay?
There is a daily fine and it climbs, and an overstay on your record makes future entries harder than they need to be. There is no reason to risk it when a border run resets the clock, so leave a day early and it never becomes a question.
Do I still have to do the 90 day report?
Yes, if you are here for more than 90 consecutive days. It is a separate deadline from this one and it also resets when you leave and come back.
