Not just digital nomads, but retirees, dental appointments, cooking classes - you name it, people have got it! I'm just as curious to know who in the government has told you it won't be around in five years! 😂

What are the rules for using an International Driving Permit (IDP) in Thailand, particularly regarding the 90-day validity?

@Tim ********

Again, are you quoting a LAW? Or another Facebook opinion? I've seen nothing official which suggests this.

I've produced the Thailand Traffic Law which states "temporary visitor", there's no defined time limit in Thai law.

DTV is issued under the "staycation" banner. It is most certainly a tourist visa.

@Gregor *********

Correct. The Thai Law states "temporary visitor" so the IDP is valid until the visitor leaves. However, the international treaty suggests 12 months, so that would be the maximum time. I understand Japanese Traffic Law actually stipulates a time period of 12 months for the IDP.

Not that simple. To enforce a law there must be a specified number or situation otherwise the law is meaningless. UK Visitor Visa for example is six months. There is nothing in Thai law which suggests a period of time, rather it's situational and defined as "temporary visitor".

What are the reporting requirements for foreigners staying in Thailand on a DTV visa?

Andy ************

@Amin **********

Why wouldn't they? Just about every other visa has to report every 90 days. Only exception is the LTR

How can I help my son recover his belongings from Chiang Mai after he was denied entry at immigration?

I know I didn't delete and I stand by every word. Thailand has enough Cheap Charlies here without encouraging more. Why doesn't the KID borrow the money off family and friends? 😆
