Any other one just got the dtv visa just get send out for 2 years the dtv visa for soft power not 5 years whery strange?
Answer summary
The user expressed confusion over receiving a 2-year Digital Nomad (DTV) visa for soft power in Thailand, contrary to the typical 5-year duration. Community members suggested that the visa duration might be linked to the expiration of the user's passport, emphasizing that most visas align with passport validity. Some users shared similar experiences, while others recommended directly contacting the embassy for clarification.

Obvious he is translating from a non English speaking country…. That is why the language sounds strange… it is difficult to help you if we don’t know where you are applying from? Best of luck with your 2 year visa…. Still a pretty good deal!

You can email the embassy. I did this in laos when i applied and they were very helpful. I would recommend finding the email address for the embassy you dealt with and sending them a polite email asking why they issued 2 year DTV instead of the default 5 years.

I think you said you had dtv agreed for 2 years? (just reword it clearly man we have AI & google nowadays theres literally zero excuse to post something nobody can understand other than laziness)
if they gave you it for 2 years then thats strange. Under 5 years on the passport would probably mean you get rejected not given a 2 year visa.

FabulousPhoenix4971 hes asking because we would like to help you but cant understand what you said as the spelling is that bad its hard to understand what it means. If nobody cared you would have been ignored.
I wish you the best of luck wit the dtv issue. if they gave you a dtv for 2 years then thats strange. You might want to send an email to the embassy that issued it and ask them why they gave you a 2 year dtv instead of 5 years.
Best of luck & offering love & blessings. 🙏

DTV_BegPecker Do you literally not know who Mark Zuckerburger is? There is a movie about his life. He is an American, this is OUR website, it started originally by only allowing college kids who could PROVE they were enrolled in case you are a young kid who wasn't even born yet when Facebook started. Yes I had to prove my college email address to make this account back in they day.

When does your passport expire? Some embassies will only issue a visa until the passport expires
Nick *********
DTV_BegPecker theyd probably just reject the dtv application if the passport had less than 5 years as opposed to issuing it for 2 years but then who knows, every embassy has it's own policies.

@Nick ********
there have been some cases over the last few years where a person has received fewer than five years, usually up until their passport expiresNick *********
DTV_BegPecker ahh i see. That makes sense tbh
