For all those who have been in doubt (or unclear about details), here is the approved law as published in the Royal Gazette - both in the Thai original, and (Google-) translated into English.
Key takeaways of the DTV - Destination Thailand Visa:
- a 5 year MULTIPLE ENTRY visa
- allowing UNLIMITTED ENTRIES into Thailand during that 5 year time of max 180 DAYS EACH
- OPTIONALLY EXTENDABLE IN COUNTRY once at each entry for another 180 days at local immigration (for those not wanting to leave Thailand before 180 + 180 days).
- price of the 5 year visa: 10k THB
- proof of financial evidence or financial support of at least 500k THB
- only available at Thai consulates (outside of Thailand / not in Thailand)
Seems to be open to all nationalities.
A game changer.
No need to spread misinformation anymore, when we have facts now.
