You do know abusing is using but inappropriately.

And that’s why they are more crackdowns at the border

Read the news Andi, start there. Then look at social media.

What was the purpose? I’ve just said, the upward trend of British unruly tourists, and if you still haven’t realised, a British national posted the initial question.

Everything ok?

@Todd ********

Yes of course you can abuse the system. Coming in and out and living in Thailand on tourist visas is an example.

@Andi **********

It’s clear there’s a particular trend that British tourists are causing the most trouble the past 18 months.

And yes, clearly and obviously, U.K. travellers are not the only ones. But that’s not the comment I made, nor is it relevant

This isn’t a visa question. It’s a tourist question

I think you should post this in other groups.

This community is for DTV holders, or those who want to get this visa, questions about acquiring the visa etc.

If you’re eligible and have a legit professional that allows you to remote work, then you have a chance of acquiring the DTV.

As for recommendations on your holiday, then there are plenty of travel groups for travellers, digital nomads etc.

no work permit no bank

Ask yourself, should you even be trying to get a DTV? By the sounds of it you’ve already tried to mug the system, and the Thais will remember that

Sounds like you’ve not been in Thailand for the required purposes. That might catch up with you

DTV is a tourist visa. So yes you can get a lease. The landlords don’t care if you’re there or not because it’s money for them.

Other privileges available when you’re legitimately living in Thailand (like a work permit, married, residency) will not be available under a DTV.
