Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

Celebrating a tourist visa? A visa that you even can’t open a bank account while they let you stay there up to 5 years and u even become tax resident?!?

There’s so many questions about this scam visa.

ThoughtfulLychee5096 I respect the laws and rules of a country that is letting me stay for few years. I knew before that I wont be getting a bank account. That’s purely an issue that has a workaround (Wise app for example) but not a serious problem to be concerned about. Agreed that its a tourist visa, but it helps me build a routine, mingle with locals and learn Thai culture without having to be worried that I am going to be there for a too short period. In short, that’s not a tourist visa, but an “explorer” visa in my point of view.

ThoughtfulLychee5096You don't need a Thai bank account to live in Thailand.Many DTVERS will be income tax exempt. It is a legit visa and you have poor comprehension of how it works.

ThoughtfulLychee5096 pardon me but that's a ridiculous reply. The DTV visa is a good option for many. Especially for the DTV Visa Target 🎯 market of the MILLIONS of DIGITAL NOMAD workers worldwide....with its Workcation DTV Visa. Along with varied options for Soft Power activity.

I was close to apply but then I did more research that it didn’t fit me since it’s just an tourist visa and as a freelancer you can’t even open an bank account and if you become tax resident then they want u pay tax but they don’t give you bank account or any beneficial. It’s like a system designed by low IQ people in the authorities

No I’m just curious if people actually know what they pay for and what they get. I mean why not just go on regular tourism visa 3 months and then do visa run and get another 3 months? Then you have 6 months once a year. Even with DTV you have either to do visa run or pay for extend same as the regular tourist visa so I don’t see any point get DTV visa as it’s not differ from the regular tourist visa so much.
