Anonymous participant you think what you like but I'm giving you good advice. You are highly unlikely to obtain a dtv using your proposal. You have a much higher chance of success using soft power

Anonymous participant come on man. Everyone and his dog can provide demo payments

You should look at the available soft power options. You don't have a business, you don't have any revenue, forget it

because the DTV is a bit of an outlier, it was brought in by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs without any concensus from other departments. Immigration are not keen on the DTV and make it very difficult to extend at their offices. In my view that is the main reason it's a tourist visa, anything else would have required them getting buy in from other departments. But it is what it is and DTV holders need to live with that.

I've seen nothing in the new guidelines that relates to years in any way. The old rule about two land border entries per annum is gone, it doesn't exist anymore land and air are the same

You can't work for any entities or clients inside Thailand but online remote work is fine

@Steven ******

the reality is there is no new rules, what there is is published guidance for immigration officers. That guidance says you get 1 extension on a 60 day visa exempt entry and if you have a 2nd visa exempt entry shortly thereafter you will get a 7 day extension (in reality that's not an extension, it is an extension denied stamp which gives you 7 days to leave Thailand)

@Jonathan *******

but for what purpose? Retirement, work, marriage, other? And how old are you?

@Jonathan *******

I kind of worked that out, but there a huge number for many different reasons. A bit more information would help
