ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa in Thailand has a strict requirement of 500,000 baht, and most responses indicate that there are no alternative methods to bypass this financial stipulation. While some comments suggest using an agent to assist with the process, the core requirement still stands. There is a mention of other visa options like Non-O or O-A Retirement visas, but they have different financial requirements. It is emphasized that while alternatives might exist, they could put one's visa status at risk.
