DTV avilable for pakistani?
Winston ************
All nationalities are eligible for the DTV, at least I'm not aware of "restricted" nationalities, despite some phony websites claiming to list the "eligible passport countries". I know a guy from Ghana who got it and has entered without a problem via BKK. The official MFA website section about the DTV doesn't mention any restricted nationalities.

That is excactly why you should read specificly the website of the Thai Embassy you will apply at.
( And why it is important to know both passport nation and which Embassy, when askibg questions about DTV)

@Rehan *****
Pakistan applicants have additional documents to submit, you should contact the embassy you are applying from to know what you need. A recent post by a DTV applicant from Pakistan will be in the threads.Rehan ******
