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 centers around the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand amidst concerns about potential changes. A member shared that a visa agency indicated no specific changes to DTV, but recommended a VIP arrival service for 5000 Baht to avoid issues. Comments highlight various perspectives on visa types, particularly the long-term residency (LTR) and tax considerations, suggesting that the VIP service could be worth it for peace of mind.
