Hey guys im trying to apply for DTV and they ask me when i plan to arrive and leave. I wanna stay (obviously) for long term like 2-3 years at least. But i will leave Thailand for a short trip to Japan after 5 days after arriving to thailand. but after that i will return and stay there. What would be the smartest answer? Just say 5 days? i fiear that they might gimme just a normal tourist visa because its "enough" for the period of time. should i just say 4 Months? to make it look like im more in need of DTV than a TV? maybe some people who successfully applied to DTV and got approved and have similar situations can tell me :)
TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a DTV visa, it's suggested to indicate a stay of around 4 to 6 months rather than stating an intention to stay for 2-3 years, as the DTV is typically issued for shorter periods. Concerns were raised about taking a short trip to Japan shortly after arriving in Thailand, but it seems that this does not significantly impact the application. Responses from the community advise ensuring that your stated length of stay reflects a realistic duration while allowing for eventual extensions in the future.
