Which visa is better for expats in Thailand: DTV or Student Visa?
What is the better visa - DTV or Student?
Answer summary
The discussion highlights that the choice between the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) and a Student Visa largely depends on the individual's purpose for staying in Thailand. Many commentators favor the DTV for its flexibility and long duration (up to 5 years), especially for those qualifying as remote workers or seeking to engage in activities such as learning Muay Thai. Conversely, if a person's primary reason for being in Thailand is study-related, the Student Visa would be the appropriate choice.

If you're a student... then student visa... If you're a remote worker or want to learn muay thai or other things, then the DTV. It's not like you can really choose, it depends on what/who you are.
