stay away - glad that’s not part of my travel itinerary-these days used to dread it……..

Thailand has finally moved into the 21st century, and not before time…..

DTV visa holders may be required to get the ETA, they would then pay the tax along with other tourists, or they may be exempted…..small number compared with the 19m tourists every year……

Perhaps, but there are so many systems out there, even the PH has it now, consultants will cut and paste, they have successfully rolled out Evisa in their embassies and my wife used the Singapore site, and it’s very efficient. The revenue from tourist tax collection provides a significant incentive that will be too good for Thai govt to miss…..they will also need to install e gates at all intl airports for it to work effectively as well - will make life easier for those of us who still travel, no more waiting at immig…….bring it on…

@Nongnuch *******

they will presumably pay the tax when they apply for their tourist visa at their embassy, which is moving to Evisa this year I believe…..good news is those of us on retirement visas will be exempt not sure what they will do about DTV

You will be denied access, and have to report to the manned immig desk, set up for naughty boys & girls

@Nongnuch *******

they will also use it to collect the tourist tax that been mooted for past 2 years, and delayed because Airlines, Hotels and Airports refused to enable the collection, for obvious reasons.

Spread a little happiness around - never fails, until it does and price goes up…..

@Randy *****

if they are renting they need owners involvement in registering a guest…..agreed, a pain but that’s the law

@Paul *******

as it is here, aliens have no responsibility hotel or owner of guest house or property I do it for my daughter when she visits, takes 5 mins
