Answer summary
Users shared their experiences about receiving a Tourist (TR) visa instead of a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). One commenter noted they initially applied for a multiple-entry tourist visa but ended up with a DTV after the embassy scrutinized their work details. Others mentioned that sometimes the embassy perceives a tourist visa as more appropriate for certain applicants, suggesting the decision can hinge on individual circumstances.

Opposite in my case: I got DTV while I applied for multiple entry tourist visa. They checked my work details (freelancing with $40K+ in a year) and mailed me to pay the difference in fee. In two days, I got DTV.

How is it possible to pay difference?
If so they must refund difference to who they gave multiple TR ?
How did you pay the difference? And what is the location for the Thai Embassy? Thank you

You are from Norway why you dont buy Thai Elite Visa instead. Bronze cost about 650 000 baht and it nothing for someone from Norway.Kurt *************
I have a dtv. Dont need a elite. And not everyone in norway is rich. Actually the average norwegian pay 75% of their earnings in some way of tax...
