The DTV still baffles me... this visa goes against everything the Thai-Chinese government has done over the past decades. Is it just a PR stunt to trick foreigners to think that Thailand is suddenly treating foreigners fairly? It's only 10.000 foreigners in the past year who got this visa, considering there are 35m tourists yearly, it's a small number - possibly confirming that it exists to boost the country's image... Anyways, congrats to anyone who got it. It's the best value Visa for Thailand up to date.
People who care about 90 days reporting have a serious issue with authority figures (especially on DTV which only allows you to stay for 180 days anyway). In what other country in the world do authorities subject their "guests" to this nonsense?
By hiding from the public, that means you did/are doing something wrong. And now you tell others that they did wrong. Wtf? Join the woke because then you can make up your own definitions and be considered right and well-informed.
If you have enough money, then you don't need a lawyer to get a retirement Visa. Since you ask a lawyer to help you, don't pretend you don't know what Neil MacDougall is talking about. Stupid.
