Does each DTV entry reset the 180-day stay period?
Community reports generally describe the DTV as a multiple-entry visa where each entry grants a new permitted stay, commonly discussed as 180 days per entry.
What applicants reported
Questions often mix up visa validity, entry stamps, extensions, and re-entry permits. The recurring answer is to look at the stamp and plan around the permitted-stay date.
What to prepare
- Check the admitted-until date on every entry stamp.
- Keep copies of the visa and supporting documents when re-entering.
- Plan extensions, exits, and 90-day reporting separately.
Important caution
Immigration practice can change. The stamp in the passport is the immediate control date.
