What are the costs and experiences of a border run from Pattaya to Vientiane for a visa extension?

Elías ********

Participante anónimo 641 multi entry tourist visa reportedly (I don't know and I don't care, either) doesn't allow to work remotely from Thailand. The DTV does, so I can say out loud both to Thais and to people in my country that I'm legally working from Thailand.

Will my friend's past entry rejection affect his DTV visa application for Thailand?

Your friend WASN'T deported. Deportation and entry rejection are two very different things.

What recent changes are happening regarding the ED visa in Thailand?

@Frank *********

but the DTV was created for that: for medical treatment, for courses, etc. It's not the same as using a student visa to work. Of course, if anyone is using the DTV to work, it should be also revoked, but the examples you mention about dental treatments and cooking courses are indeed within the scope of what the DTV is for.

What are the income requirements for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand?

Elías ********

Remember the DTV is good for 5 years. If what you intend is to do a short course of muay thai or Thai cuisine for a couple of months, you can get the regular tourist visa, which allows you to stay for up to 90 (60+30) days and has way less stringent requirements.

What are the income requirements for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand?

Elías ********

Sounds good to me. No country wants people without money to come and live here. Your income doesn't need to be from a job, tho. Own business, renting properties you own, etc., everything counts.

Can I enter Thailand on a tourist visa while waiting for my DTV visa approval?

Elías ********

Somebody doesn't know to read the rules. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't make me happy that this happened to you, but the rules are in writing, so you can't claim not knowing them.
