Anyone and everyone can get a DTV. Easiest visa ever

@Dave *********

They can refuse anyone, but more likely on visa-exempt than with a visa

@Dave *********

But what about those who want to come to Thailand? There's a hundred other countries but it's Thailand we want

@Maxim **********

Good. If they want to live here let them pay! I'm happy with my 2000baht/year, multi-entry visa! Never paid a single baht to a scam agent!

@Maxim **********

But visa runners wouldn't need this service as they have a proper visa, not a free entry stamp

@Maxim **********

Amazing what lengths people go to in order to avoid just getting a proper visa!

@Maxim **********

An agent for visa exempt? That's a new one

You don't have a face full of tattoos do you? 😆😆😆

The DTV suits me as I travel 3-4 times a year overseas, so I don't need to do any specific border bouncing. I'm saving 5700 baht each year on extension/re-entry costs, so over a five year period that's 28,500 as compared to the DTV of 10,000. It's not for everyone as some people like to remain in Thailand continuously, but for me it's a no-brainer. I still maintain the 65k/month transfers just in case I want to switch back

@Gerg *********

Yes. Although it's a kind of duty to visit the "out-laws" it's still hard work for me (and also for her to a degree as she left Isaan over twenty years ago to go to university in Bangkok and never moved back) as I'm city born and raised and the villages in Isaan are not exactly my desired destination! 😆
