What are the experiences and recommendations for obtaining a DTV visa in Thailand?
Brook ********
The DTV visa is not a standard visa. It's just this really long tourist visa. You can't open a bank account, and you may not be let back into Thailand under increased scrutiny.

I urge you to watch this video beginning at 5:43

What are the visa options for casual visitors to Thailand who plan to travel multiple times a year?
Brook ********
But how long will you stay each time, what country are you from, and will you try to extend your visa exemption each time?

The easiest is to get an annual visa for ฿1900 and a multi reentry permit.

My non-o takes about 15 minutes a year of my time to renew.

Thai health insurance companies are sketchy at best.

They can cancel you or decline a policy for any reason including being overweight.

GreenPapaya279 I earn almost 2% at SCB. it’s not great, but it’s a hedge against inflation. Plus the money is in country if the hospital demands advanced payment for whatever reason.
