Up to you. Cheers

Numerous.

Just a few; 1. hard to open bankaccount. And yes some say they managed it. Nothing is 100% in Thailand.

2. Only a 2 year driving license. Those who had a 5 years license go back to 2 year at next renewal. 2 years license is not accepted in many places to show ID. Its a temporary license.

3. In any situation you are dealt with as a tourist. I could come back in Thailand in covid time on a non o more quickly then tourists.

And there are more issues. We not even know the future of DTV because of the many obvious frauds concerning obtaining a DTV.

Thai governement is aware of this.

Get a visa that meets your purpuse. Retired and longstay wish. Get a Non O.

Digital nomad or going on a longer training/medical treatment get a DTV.

@Martin ******

Be aware that is a tourist visa. With all its downsides

Nigel David Wells

Its a commercial activity.

So if i own a bar i am allowed to work in it? Same same.

@Rudolf ******

He means "you are fined" lol

@Tim ******

The DTV is a tourist visa. Not a visa i would advise for retirement

@David *******

No. Does it say this facebook group name?

@Henrik ****

Why the week before if you can do it 45 days in advance. Get it done and over with.

If you are at the immigration and got your extension then consider to get a re-entry permit while are still there. If needed in this extension period. Cost you maybe less then 1 hour in time and 1000B for a single entry or 3800B for a miltiple re-entry permit.
