What are the long-term visa options for a dual citizen planning to stay in Thailand?

@Cary ***

no problem, there is another route you can take if you are determined to come by visa exempt or tourist visa before applying for the DTV. You can contact an agent such as

@THAI *****************************

(they run this group) and pay for them to pre-check you with immigration and get you through immigration control without issues.

Why the Tourist Visa which will risk being denied entry before the DTV?

@Nitzan ****

changes made makes DTV pointless now its going away

@Andrew *******

Not aware of any changes. Can you point me at the news?

@Andrew *******

for the exact reason I just explained. The internet. And newbies to Thailand with no idea how it works. Always been the same. And the reason many join sites like this is because they fucked up or don’t understand how the visa system works here.

Thailand gets about 40 million tourists a year. If you see 10 million similar posts, they are cracking down. If you see 15… go back to bed and don’t soil yourself

what have you seen ‘shifting frequently’? ALL nations make changes to their immigration plan annually. It’s a fast changing world.

The price of Thai visas has astoundingly remained the same for many years. The criteria also. Of course it evolves, but the basics haven’t changed in decades. LTR and DTV are quite new. Seriously positive changes. At insanely low cost.

And there are well known ‘work arounds’. Border bounce agencies, agents to facilitate visa. Fast track airport arrival. Some border points are well known to be strict, others are well known for being soft. You just have to gently read and learn here. And talk to people with similar circumstances

@Cary ***

that totally depends where you are starting from. In your local area, there will absolutely be agencies with excellent reputations. And agencies won’t take you if they can’t guarantee you can come back.

For an agent, you can just ask the owners of this page

@THAI *****************************

. Send them any questions by line or messenger

@Cary ***

they are quite responsive and will give you exact pricing for what you need in your situation.
