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?

Questions arise about utility bills for proof of address, with some users noting that bank statements or driving licenses may suffice. Overall, the discussion reflects on the value of stress-free arrival versus navigating potential visa complications.
