@Benjamin ********

which is exactly what you’re doing in your comment.

"Hi Dad, I dont know how to apply for the DTV cause I don't know how to be self-directed and do my own research. Can you find out for me and take care of it? Thanks"

@Werner ***********

its one of the categories. My comment was about intent and purpose not about who is likely on what visa for what reason. Many are on the DTV for soft power activities so if that's your intent for being here, then its the right visa. Visas are issued based on intent and purpose. Of course, people can be dishonest but rather than looking at which one is easiest, the best route is to be here on a visa that reflects why you are here.

It depends on your purpose and intent for being in Thailand. You should be on a visa that reflects your intent and reason for being here not which one is “easier”. If you’re retiring here the. The retirement visa is for you. If you are working remotely than the dtv is for you.

@Marcos ********

Thanks, and you went to Chaeng Watthana in Lak Si, right? I'm dreading this....hopefully the online will work after my 1st one.

Thanks for sharing ! Did you bring the TM30 that you got from you landlord ? Anything else required ?

@Siggi ******

yea you can. I flew into Vietnam with a one way ticket. I’ve done it several times.

@Jai ******

you're wrong....your stamp is for 180 days. If you stay beyond 90 days, you must report or face the fines.

@Tod ********

but it’s possible that there are. Most people don’t run to Facebook to celebrate doing 90 day reports haha

@Tod ********

right. So technically people could have done a 90 day report already. That was my point.
