Hit for tourism because they cannot open bank accounts? Do you believe yourself? Then tourism in most countries would stop...

Stay on DTV is 180 days, for most digital nomads enough and they don't normally open bank accounts in every country they stay for a while, they just use services like Wise.

Be aware that depending how you rent the property it might be seen as working, which is forbidden on DTV.

@Dany *******

What is speculating when I say I DO NOT KNOW what happens in the future.

And with your remark there ARE no checks you are not speculating but just WRONG, maybe incidentally, but there are certainly checks.

@Dany *******

I perfectly know the difference, and that difference makes it possible for DTV holders to prevent visiting an immigration office for visa related things and checks. And exactly that difference also makes your argument there will be no checks on entry for DTV because they also not implemented for marriage and retirement invalid. I am not speculating, I say it might change or might not.

@Dany *******

facts about what? Your statement is there will be no checks for DTV because there are no checks for marriage and retirenent visa. It is a clear fact that both these visa are checked each year at moment of extension, and therefore useless to do extra checks. DTV does not have these mandatory checks, so the argument that DTV will have no checks because marriage and retirements are not checked at reentry in the country is just an invalud argument. And for now indeed there are only incidentally checks on DTV

Thai don't want problems to be solved in public.

@Dany *******

non-oa has high requirements checked at approval, and insurance checked at entry after first year. Your comparison was relevant in case DTV needed also yearly visit to an immigration office to extend fir another year, but because it is multi entry there is no need to do so, so that is the reason they might check DTV more at entry. Checking visa at the border that are already checked each year at an immigration office is completely spill of resources and time.

@Kev *********

naming and shaming is not a good idea in Thailand, even when you are completely right.

@Dany *******

We started talking about non-o, but when you want to switch over the discussion to non-oa that is OK, non-oa has some checks at entry of country. You were the one starting to compare marriage and others to DTV. When you get the big difference explained, which is mainly caused by the fact DTV is multi entry, you say that is cherry picking which was started by yourself...

@Dany *******

The big difference is that retirement and marriage NEED to be extended, and DTV does not need extensions, so these check moments that are obligatory for retirement and marriage are optional for DTV because it is multi entry and you don't need the extension of stay, but just start a new one.
