I have a Sony DSC-W800 compact camera and would like to trigger the shutter remotely. Does this model support any wired or wireless remote shutter release, or another way to take a photo without pressing the shutter button directly?

No. This is a budget compact camera made for portability and convenience, not for advanced functionality. There are no accessory ports and no wifi or bluetooth control.

The Sony DSC-W800 does not support a standard remote shutter release. According to the community answers, it has no accessory port and no built-in wireless control such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so there is no official wired or wireless remote option for triggering the shutter.
A possible workaround is a simple mechanical or pneumatic cable release device that physically presses the shutter button from a short distance away, but this is an external improvised solution rather than a camera feature. Range would be limited by the cable length.
If your goal is to avoid camera shake, the practical built-in alternative is usually the self-timer, if available on the camera.
