Aussies working FIFO and spending breaks in Thailand are exploring eligibility for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). Several commenters shared experiences and advice on visa options. While some have used visa exemptions frequently, concerns have arisen about increased scrutiny from immigration officials. Suggestions include pursuing soft power visas or multi-entry tourist visas (METVs) as alternatives, with one commenter noting that entering via visa exemption may not be sustainable long-term due to tourism regulations tightening.
