TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry is about which visa option, DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) or LTR (Long-Term Resident Visa), is more suitable for a friend from Suriname working in the food and beverage industry. Comments indicate that obtaining a DTV is relatively easy, whereas the LTR is considered quite challenging.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Not related to the post , but to living in Thailand: Why did FB stop translating posts made in Thai? Sometimes we need to communicate with the locals. Plus, It is impossible to copy the text to a translator

LTR is very difficult to get. DTV is very easy to get.
