This isn’t an argument, but just some discussion points. But I don’t think you get the point. You have to get here and that certainly is not a free trip. If you don’t book accommodations are you going to sleep in the street. And about funds. People ask multiple times everyday here about how much and for how long does their bank account need to show funds. Evidently it’s an issue. Where did you get that 90% number. Google? What’s wrong with an over 50 VISA. I’ve been here 12 years on it and costs like only 1900 baht a year. Anyway it’s making many people happy so that’s a good thing. But I do see people going great lengths to circumvent the system. A 5 year dental procedure. And moving to Thailand to get it. Come in, Give me a break.

@Toni ******

Me, Problem, None at all. I play by the rules the way they’re written. For you. Get in Anyway you can as the rules now favor you. This visa is giving you a Carte Blanche equivalent…. Get in while you still can and not worry about it for 5 years.

@Łukasz ********

So how do you get to Thailand. And where do you sleep once you get here.

That is exactly how it appears. I mean do people actually buy plane tickets, reserve and pay for accommodation, acquire funds to provide proof to sustain themselves, and the reason is for a series of dental appointments. As convoluted the various VISA options are, this is the craziest of all.

@Paul ******

Just curious. Are there more benefits with this DTV then you have with a marriage visa. I'm on the over 50 one which is close in many ways to the marriage visa. I mean we theoretically already have an unlimited stay option. I only see maybe not doing the 90 day report may be a benefit. Anything else about it that would tempt you to change to the DTV.

@Paul ******

well you seem to know more then many of us on the process. Whats stopping you from just going and just try. I mean would you actually not try just because you saw a no answer on here.

No need for a specific visa to renew a license

It’s a wait and see game

@Mitch ********

It’s sort of a useless post as it tells us absolutely nothing

That’s funny. This VISA was only introduced about a month or so ago. But I’ve strange things happen in this country
