That's wrong, you won't live here for 5 years, you can stay a maximum of 6 months as a tourist, after that you need to extend or leave the country and go back to Thailand (if you wish and rules did not change), that's why for them it is a tourist visa.

Dustyn Beaudoin 😂, I also had a chat with the "expert" number one , a girl called Amanda, she use to sell "visas services", she told me a few years ago, that her "sources" told her that Thailand will never have a digital nomad visa 😂, but her "sources" were very wrong , that's why I don't believe "agency friends" ,no-one knows what will happen, many gob changes, etc... Agencies always wanna sell quickly what they have, that's all. Welcome to Thailand to everyone!!

Yeah you are right, less than 60 have many 😂

Cool, that's good news! In Hua Hin not many tourists with laptops.

@Robin ********

I also remember when gancha was fully legal and now almost punished 😂 (in less than 1 year ), and many things...

Roberto Stephen Success? How you know that? I never saw less tourists in 8 years (apart from COVID times of course), after COVID the economy fell down and less tourists came to Thailand. Maybe in the digital nomad areas like Chiang Mai more tourists with laptops? Not sure, but not where I am.

Thailand is the one who put the rules, and they can change any time. In my personal opinion after staying here for a few years, I saw many things changing for one day to the other, welcome to Thailand 😆.

In Thailand things change very quick, everything 😆

A country that was able to change the cannabis law in less than one year, after many people invested a lot of money in related businesses, can change anything they want. This is not a criticism; I’m simply describing reality based on actual events. Enjoy this beautiful country, enjoy your visas and don't think too much in the future, that's my friendly advice to the new DTV tourists.

After living in Thailand for a while, I’ve noticed many things change quickly (like the marijuana law). However, I believe they won’t break the five-year commitment to those who already have the visa. Thailand will continue issuing this visa as long as it benefits the country and will likely end it once tourism fully recovers. We've already seen other countries take similar steps by removing digital nomad visas around the world.
