ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
Chinese citizens face stringent challenges when applying for the Thailand DTV visa, with Laos as the only available application option mentioned. The requirement to deposit 500,000 baht for three months is emphasized as non-negotiable. Previous experiences indicated that many Chinese applicants have been rejected despite complete documentation, a result of past abuses of the DTV scheme by scammers, which has negatively impacted the credibility of legitimate applicants.
