TLDR : Answer Summary
To obtain a long-term DTV visa in Thailand, you should check the requirements listed on the official website of the Thai embassy in your country, as requirements may vary by location. It's important to apply from outside Thailand and ensure you meet all necessary criteria. Generally, many commenters advise new applicants to use online resources or the embassy's site for accurate information.

Why are you so lazy?! You know there is a search function in the group? There is google too. The basic stuff you can find yourself, if things aren’t clear after that you can always ask. But put some effort in it dude

The requirements are whatever your Thai embassy says they are. Go to their website and see what they have listed for DTV requirements. Each embassy sets their own.
