Seeing a lot of fear mongering about DTV lately. I spoke to Visa agency. They said nothing has changed specifically with DTV but to guarantee avoid hassle you can do a VIP arrival for 5000 Baht. Do you think it’s worth the stress free arrival and peace of mind?
Answer summary
The post discusses concerns regarding the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) and mentions that there have been no significant changes. A user suggests opting for a VIP arrival service for 5000 Baht to avoid potential hassles at the airport. Comments provide additional insights, such as timing the new entry close to the expiration of the current entry stamp to maximize stay duration, clarifying that no actual visa extension occurs, only a new entry is processed.
