I agree. I actually think the people are less friendly and the prices are higher than in Cambodia and Vietnam.

Anonymous participant 800 Cambodia: a year without having to do anything

Grenada: Also a year and you're fine

There are plenty of countries where you don't have jump through hoops.

It is also easier in the Philippines

But since I like to switch it up, I am now here. But they are definitely, again, overly bureaucratic.

@Dave *******
yeah let people jump to the same exact hoops they have already jumped through to get the DTV.

This is super unfriendly, and super unwelcoming and unnecessarily overly bureaucratic. Like the 90 day report. They really got a handful of that here.

Anonymous participant 877 Hence the use of "a bit"

And you are not taking in the original amount of about 400 USD.

So yeah, a again: a BIT more than visa runs.

Anonymous participant 877 Hahaha

1. Cheap visa. You pay way less in other SEA' countries. Especially since many of us won't stay the full 5 years because of the regulations surounding the DTV

2. Costs are not subjective but relative. And compared to other courses this is insanely expensive. You can twist it anyway you like, but your gas lighting doesn't work.

Anonymous participant 877 There are way more affordable courses. This is just ridiculous

Anonymous participant 877 No it was designed so the Thai government could earn a bit more money. Instead op people doing cheap border runs.
