The DTV is 180 days per entry. The tourist visa is 60. The visa exemption is 30. They all start counting the moment you cross the border. None of them send you a reminder.
Track your Thailand visa free →Thailand has several ways to enter legally, each with a different day limit. Getting them confused is the most common cause of accidental overstays.
The day you enter counts as Day 1.Your entry stamp shows a “permitted to stay until” date — that is your hard exit deadline. You must be out of Thailand by midnight on that date, or you are officially overstaying.
Example: you enter on May 1 on a 30-day visa exemption. Day 1 is May 1. Your permitted stay expires May 30. You need to cross the border before midnight on May 30.
If you extend at an immigration office, your new stamp overwrites the old deadline. Track the new date — not the original one.
The Destination Thailand Visa is valid for 5 years with unlimited re-entries. Each entry grants 180 days. You can extend for another 180 days at a Thai immigration office, giving you up to 360 consecutive days per entry.
There is no annual cap on how many days you spend in Thailand on a DTV — only the per-entry limit matters. Leave and re-enter, and your 180 days reset.
DTV holders do not need to do 90-day address reporting unless they also hold an extension of stay from immigration. The 180-day entry allowance and the 90-day reporting requirement are separate systems.
If you are on a non-immigrant visa with an extension of stay — not a tourist visa, not a DTV — Thai immigration law requires you to report your address every 90 days. This is not the same as your visa expiry. You can be perfectly legal on your visa and still be in violation for missing a 90-day report.
Travel Safe tracks your visa days — the countdown to your exit deadline. It does not track 90-day reporting, which is a separate immigration requirement that only applies to long-stay non-immigrant visa holders.
Fine: THB 500 per day overstayed (roughly $14/day). Maximum fine for voluntary departure: THB 20,000 (~$560).
Beyond the fine, the consequences scale with how long you stayed over:
If you are caught inside Thailand rather than at the airport on departure, you can be detained. Thai immigration enforcement has increased significantly since 2024, particularly at tourist areas with high nomad populations.
The fine is cheap. The blacklist is not.
A calendar reminder fires once on a date you set when you first arrived. It does not know about extensions. It does not update if you get a new stamp. It does not count from your entry date — it fires on whatever date you happened to enter.
Travel Safe counts from your actual entry date, lets you update it if you extend, and sends you one email on every day threshold you choose — day 14, day 7, day 3, whatever you decide. Not a pop-up. An email you can search for later.
