Is it true that DTV visa fees in Thailand have tripled to 30,000 baht?
I heard all Thai Visa fees including DTV will go up, effective now. DTV will triple to 30,000 baht. Still a good deal for 5 years. Is this confirmed true?
Summary so far
There is a claim circulating that the fee for the Thai DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) will increase to 30,000 baht, tripling the current cost. However, this information has not been verified, and many comments in the thread question the source and accuracy of this claim, noting potential confusion with Indian rupees instead of baht. Participants express skepticism and concern over inflated visa costs and the implications of not being able to receive refunds if a visa application is denied. Further clarification is sought from official sources.

If there was an IQ test to get a dtv visa nobody in this grp would have a dtv visa

I heard that any DTV holder that streams themselves eating avocado toast and drinking an iced latte will be immediately deported.

30,000 for the visa, no problem. 30,000 to apply and get denied for some trivial reason, then have to pay and apply again, unacceptable.
Also, if I pay 30k baht I’d want no problems or questions beyond the routine when entering and exiting..

Many people already pay 20,000 or 30,000 baht because they are rejected so often 😄

Makes sense now. Thanks.

Lol absolutely terrible deal because there is no refund if you are rejected, so it's like gambling. Now 90,000 baht visa fee with 3000 application fee? Acceptable

@Justin *******
its in Rupees not THB 🤣Don *******
Should put the application fee to 100,000. Would remove all the ones who can’t afford to fly out to Vietnam for 3 days to renew their stay.

if a big boss like you cannot afford ltr and only can buy flight tickets to Vietnam, maybe shouldn’t be talking and go somewhere else. Ohh everywhere is very much expensive than Thailand, so stay here and talk some more SH.t. lolDon *******

DTV invented to be hassle free for people who have money to stimulate the economy. What we got? People signing up with cooking classes and fa.ake documents that can't afford a 5k air Asia flight every 6 months and a hotel in Da Danang 😂 First 6 months were glorious. Now everytime I enter a boarder I get a side eye from an officer, like I'm an ESL teacher on a Muay Thai visa living on Pad Thai in On Nut.Don *******
@Sam ********
yep exactly my point. Got the brokie squad who game the system, live out of a suitcase and can’t afford a flight to renew every 80 days but will instead spend 8 hours down at the immigration with their paperwork. It’s not the time they don’t have; it’s the $.Sam *********
@Don ******
It's not They don't have a $100 for a trip ... They don't have time for a trip every 6 months cos their working at coding remotely at Google 🤣🤣

the proof of 500k baht savings kinda does that tbf lol. As easy as it is to fly to malaysia some people might be busy and will still enquire about potential 6 month extension to see if its a possibility. Who can blame them lol...its rare but they do consider it sometimes.

whereas paying attention to details before judgement would not be a mistake. ;)Frank-Steven ***********
@Hǝınz **********
The details are that a DTV cannot be bought in Thai Baht, as it is only available outside of Thailand in the foreign currency of the respective host country of the Royal Thai Embassy. And some of those sneaky institutions already have a 300% plus surplus.Frank-Steven ***********
@Hǝınz **********
Ok. If the OP was about confusing rupees for Thai Baht, then I refer back to my initial statement about social media. 😅Hǝınz ***********
@Frank-Steven **********
🤯 Details can be different currencies. 30K Indian rupees are 10k in THB which is totally fine.

I mean… why not state your source when posting something like this?

You think news published on an official embassy website are 'fabricated' so you came to a Facebook group to check. OK 😄
