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 discussion revolves around the recent fears regarding the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. A user mentions consulting a visa agency which confirmed that there are no significant changes to the DTV. They suggest that opting for a VIP arrival service at 5000 Baht could help avoid any potential hassles upon arrival. Comments indicate that meeting the financial requirements for a 1-year extension is manageable without needing to transfer funds internationally.
