What are the key features and requirements of Thailand's new DTV - Destination Thailand Visa?

Frank-Steven ***********

Yes. 180 days each entry. They can’t check if you are still enrolled at whatever program at every new border crossing.

But extensions are optional. And it is a 5 year visa.

Yes. I assume the same. Probably needs to be an accredited program. But why a 5 year visa for that?

@Johan *********

That seems the be the path Thailand is going, sadly. Then again, this process has started long before the DTV now. And I hope from experience, that long term visitors will have less of a negative impact than short term party mass tourism already has. Also, Thailand is quite big. Just avoid the usual over touristic areas and enjoy.

Well. Most visa come with a theoretical requirement to be able to proof funds at the border. At most borders even in cash. For example 10k THB in cash for visa exemption, and 20k THB in cash for simple tourist visa. So, lets hope we don't need to carry 500k THB in cash as DTV holders.
