ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The user is planning a year-long trip to Thailand as a remote worker but does not meet the income requirement for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). They are considering starting with a visa-free entry for 90 days, followed by obtaining a METV for 6 months. Advice shared in the comments suggests entering as a tourist to explore different locations before committing, noting there is no monthly income requirement for the DTV, only a 500K THB bank balance. The user expresses concern about the 500K requirement and considers starting with a visa-free entry.
