What are the implications of the DTV stopping processing applications if there are too many?

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

They discontinue visas for being unpopular. Thailand is doing everything it can to encourage visitors, there must have been a half dozen policy changes in the last year or two towards that goal. Expanding visa exempt country list, lengthening of visa exempt stay duration, remove limitations on visa exempt entries by land, increase VOA stay limits, add countries to VOA list, introduce a dirt cheap no brainer 5 year DTV, that almost anyone and his dog can qualify for, and if you can't qualify for it financially mommy can sponsor you. It's manna from heaven to one of the world's top destinations. They didn't require background checks, health insurance, medical fitness, the MFA has literally flung the doors open.

Not bad little earner at 400 quid a pop

You have the option to go to Taipei before the 27th as they accept walk-ins up to that date and their processing time is short. You may need some days though, if you are 1 main applicant and wish to add spouse and child to the main applicants DTV.

There is no risk of it going away at this point

The entire globe literally is trying to loosen visa restrictions and entice people, moreover modern remote workers, the likes of Spain are doing it, but in the east its a race to gain tourism after the pandemic, look favorably upon this, it's not going away, maybe some don't like the new norm, but it's here and Thailand are embracing it, hopefully its respected.

No chance. It's the most successful visa in Thai history. It's bringing in so much foreign money

It’s likely the entire program will be changed due to the requirements being too low and the amount of fraudulent applications - there have already been complaints that people are cancelling retirement, marriage and Thailand elite visas in order to apply for a DTV instead
