Is it worth paying 5000 Baht for a VIP arrival to avoid hassles with the DTV Visa in Thailand?
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?
