Not really, it does not say anything about income in point 5. The website and the VAT registration was all that was needed for that point. Mind you, the website is about Thailand, and I used to be a professional writer, thus the quality of the website is OK.

I did not need to do that. I applied in Denmark, and I gave them a screenshot and a link to the website you will find a link to in my profile. I was not asked to prove an income from the website - which was good as I don't really have an income from that. I was asked for proof of my company's existence, I send them a copy of my VAT registration. No proof was needed for an income. I am retired, and have earlier had NON O multi entry visas, and I was a bit nervous that they would know that I am retired and thus refuse to give me the DTV. However, I got the DTV.

Thanks!

What is this small thing that loves to climb walls and hang from the ceiling?

As I understand it, the DTV is neither a NON O category nor a Tourist category. It is a new category. That people can get a 5 year license renewal seems to clearly say that the visa is not in the Tourist category. Where is that quote from? Is it from something official or from a person trying to explain it in layman's terms?

As far as I remember, I have only seen two reports of members renewing a drivers license on a DTV, and both got 5 years. Are you sure about this? I thought so at first, misreading the T in DTV as Tourist. Now, I understand that the DTV is in a new category and judged from the reports of people getting 5 years license renewal, it does not have tourist status.

We have had a couple of reports of people that got a 5 year license on the DTV; however, the various transport offices may not agree on this, thus, we will have to wait and see when more people report back - and hopefully they will let us know which offices they used.

We have heard different prices for extending at immigration, 10.000 baht and the usual extending fee of 1.900 baht. We do not yet know what it will cost, and we do not yet know which documents they want for an extension. Thailand introduced the DTV July 15th; thus, no one will be extending it at immigration until sometime in January.

Yes. I haven't left Thailand yet, but other members have reported that they got a new 180 days stamp and no questions asked when entering Thailand a second time with the visa.

If you mean extending the stay at immigration you will have to wait until sometime in January. If you mean renewal of the visa you have to wait some 4½ years. If you mean renewal by leaving Thailand and getting back to Thailand we have had reports of that, you will get a new 180 days stay.

You postet the same joke twice in the same post. You and oxo1947 (see below) are way to serious, you seem to forget you are in a joke thread. In my post I even used a smiley to guide the people that may not get the joke about the same joke twice in the same post.

It's getting worse with repeated content. We used to get a few days or at least a few posts before seeing the same joke again. 🤨😁

No matter which visa you apply for you must to have the needed documents. I found it much easier to get the DTV than the visas I have used earlier (Multi Entry Tourist and NON-O based on retirement). I applied for the DTV from my home country (Denmark) and I needed fewer documents for the DTV than for the other visas.

The DTV does not make any changes regarding the 90 days report. If you stay more than 90 days you have do to the 90 days report.

We have had a couple of reports of people getting a 5 year license with a DTV, I haven't seen any report of people only getting 2 years.
