LTR is 50k, DTV is 10k. If you think that avoiding 90-day reports is worth 40k I guess that's your choice! 😂

@Max ************

But why bother with all that 800k/65k stuff, and a visit to immigration every year, when you can snap up five years with 500k in an Aussie bank account? Come on, show some common sense!

I think a lot of retirees and married to Thai on non-O visas will be switching to DTV. The 5-year tenure is very attractive without the need to go to immigration every year. Those who have purchased Elite and LTR visas will be kicking themselves now

I'll bet everyone says the same when they open an account 😆

@Vicky *******

Try Agoda

@Michael *******

You've been here too long. Not fair on the others who actually believe the "proposals" that never go anywhere

@Brandon ***********

Yep. And pay baht for the convenience!

@Eric ******

Being broke at 55 doesn't qualify anyone for Thailand. The retirement visa has a baht foreign transfer requirement. You can always apply for the Elite Visa, that is open to all ages. You obviously haven't spent long periods in Thailand or you would know that brilliant new visa schemes are often mentioned and nothing comes of them. The media pounces on them and turns them into clickbait. For anyone to hold up their entire life waiting on a Thai government/media proposal is ridiculous

@Bart *************

You obviously didn't read the press release from the government! 😂😂😂. At no point did they say June 1st. That was Bangkok Post creating the first clickbait which other mediums picked up on!!!

@Graham *****

Media speculation designed to capture clicks. It obviously worked
