What is the better visa - DTV or Student?

It seems that for those that qualify based on the passive income requirement, the LTR is an easier option for a long stay. Is there an advantage by going the non o to oa route over the ltr?

I'm trying to decide between applying for a DTV or an ED visa. Anyone have experience with either? What are the pros and cons?

DTV or Thai Elite? Still debating whether I should spend the extra money and go with the Elite to avoid all the hassle

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been answered but I couldn't find it.

I'm 51 and moving to Thailand in January with my wife who is under 50.

Both would qualify for the DTV visa but I can obviously qualify for the 'Retirement' visa.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a site/ document etc which compares these visas and or offers alternatives if there are any.

Thanks in advance for the information.

I’m planning to move to Bangkok in January. Is the Thai Privilege Card worth purchasing as a visa? Or would i be better off just doing the DTV and renewing after 5 years?

Thai Bronze Visa formally known as Elite, pros and cons gooooo..and don't say the price

I apologize for asking a question that has likely been posted many times before but can somebody briefly explain why a one-year non O retirement visa with multiple entry is better than a five-year DTV? Are you more scrutinized and/or more closely observed if you get a DTV? I’m still not certain of this. Thank you.

Hi Guys

I am already holding DTV visa

But i am checking the news that LTR visa is getting easy.

Does anyone know if we get LTR visa straight for 10 years or its renewable after 5 years?

And for DTV there is no taxes.

But for do we have taxes?

Trying to find out if LTR is better then DTV.

So please suggest and give your inputs 🙏🙏

Oh dear me. There is a shock. You cannot work in Thailand, even remotely, on an Elite Visa. Pretty much redundant with DTV. Unless I am missing something.[members only]
