Certainly not so few. In time, there will be fewer and fewer but as of right now, the e visa system is only 8 months old.

Pete Power Nonsense. Many DTV holders, most probably, have been living in Thailand on other visas and thus already have existing licenses. Stop making up things to suit your narrative.

@Siggi ******

Many people still have stickers including me.

@Pete ******

You clearly live in an alternative reality. Most DTV holders have been getting 5 year license extensions. Each office decides on whether to issue a 2 or 5year license. They don't care about your opinion. Clearly, you don't know Thailand well at all.

@Jef *******

You just did.

@Jef *******

You're like that captain obvious person who comes in late and makes totally irrelevant and useless comments that add nothing to the conversation because they're things everyone already knows.

@Pete ******

It DOES qualify. Many members have gotten 5 year renewals on DTVs. Just because it doesn't make you happy, doesn't mean it's not happening. Don't like the DTV? Get another type of visa!

@Siggi ******

More misinformation. There is NO 3 month prior restriction for DTV visas. You can apply today and not use it until the last day in 5 years!

E-visas are new...they've only been the only option since January 1, 2025. New in my book. Previously, only a few consulates were on the e-visa system and that only began during Covid, which means it's a RECENT development. The remainder caught up by late last year.

@Jef *******

Duh! Time passes and most people are at the point where they're renewing 5 year licenses. In most locations (except a few such as Chonburi and Rayong) a DTV holder can obtain a 5 year license extension.

@Pete ******

And a DTV visa qualifies in most locations. Don't talk about what you don't know.
