Why are people less interested in Malaysia's Digital Nomad Visa compared to Thailand's?

@Paul ******

it’s all still a lot cheaper than the States. There you’re looking at $5.00 muffins and 12-14.00 burritos. Tacos out of a taco truck were 3.75 each. Makes the 289 burritos at La Monita seem like a bargain now!

if you were to compare the Malaysian economy vs. the Thai economy the Malaysian is far more robust and far less tourist based. Hotels in Georgetown and KL seemed to cost more. And the. Singapore is a lot more expensive.

Thailand is cheaper and not a Muslim country where alcohol might be banned. Thailand does ban alcohol on Buddhist holidays, but that can be worked around…

Can I return to Thailand on a visa exempt 60-day stay in 2025 after my previous stays and extensions?

Ultimately it is still legal and ultimately it’s up to the immigration officer dealing with your passport. And as long as I’ve been living here, over a decade, that’s the way it’s always been. Now that they have the DTV immigration may well be getting more stringent I. Order to sell more DTVs. But who knows…

Will airlines accept a 90-day flight for a 60-day visa exemption plus extension in Thailand?

Just make your reservation for the return trip home from Thailand when you know when you’re going to leave. Immigration rarely asks for a return ticket and if they do just tell them you are traveling out of the country by land.
