so dtv is made for Digital nomad tourists, not for married or mothers/fathers of thai children? true?
Answer summary
The DTV visa is primarily designed for digital nomad tourists, but it is not exclusive to them. While it is open to anyone who qualifies, it does not provide a pathway to permanent residency, citizenship, employment opportunities in Thailand, or the ability to open a Thai bank account.

It's for anyone who can qualify for it. But if having a path to PR or citizenship, the ability to get a job in Thailand, or having a Thai bank account are important to you, then the DTV is not conducive to any of those.
