What are the latest updates on the Thai DTV visa application process and its requirements?
Frank-Steven ***********
@Tommy *******
 I party agree on that. If the DTV becomes as popular as it could be, then there would certainly be more competition in terms of resources like accomodation etc. I am not a big fan of overtourism. But I would hope that longter term visitors would be having less negative effects than other groups of tourists.

 Yes. The eVisa website seems to be having troubles now after the adjustments. Give them another day or so to fix those.

 The Thai eVisa website has issues right now - try again tomorrow. There is a section on the website that lets you check: "Am I eligible to apply online?". Either yes, then proceed applying for a visa online, or no, then proceed applying for a visa directly with your closest Thai consulate in person.

 Yup. Gotta extend your LTR for that other 5 years before the first stamp expires. And that extension for another 5 years can and will only happen in Thailand (even only in Bangkok). One of the things I found annoying with the LTR.

 I hear you on that argument. We will indeed have to wait and see if the DTV can be applied for at every consulate, including in 3rd countries.

 I am not aware of such a problem with Thai visa. The DTV is a 5 year visa - how long of those 5 years you choose to spend outside of Thailand should have no effect. Neither with the LTR for all I know. The LTR comes initially for 5 years, too.

 Being eligable for a visa category is not the same as being eligable for using the eVisa system. If you are not eligible for eVisa, then you have to get a visa the old fashioned way by means of a paper application form and showing up (or sending your passport in) at an consulate.

 Yeah. Some visa can only be applied for in ones home country / country of residence and not in 3rd countries. Unclear, yet. I would it find it likely that the DTV is one of those visa - but I don't know for sure.

 I was wondering the same. It seems a bit arbitrary. I guess the most important part is the proof of savings available.

 Many local Thai embassy / consulate sites have not updated their information on this, yet. Give them a few days. If you are eligible for eVisa, you can go ahead. Otherwise, wait for instructions of your local consulate website.
