Only reason I've found to go to retirement quickly is the possibility of the base number requirement in the bank increase and getting grandfathered in.  

Anyone know how often they do this increase?  last was 2004 I researched, from 400k to 800k

There is no way to predict any increase or grandfathering. 

I am sticking with my retirement extension for the fact it is has a long record of stability, relatively low-cost / low-hassle, and possible grandfathering. 

If I were under-50 I would do the DTV over any other option.

Has anyone managed to get a bank account on the DTV? I saw on Reddit that for many people it was a little problematic. I just applied for the certificate of residence here in Chiang Mai and hope to get it within a few days, so maybe that will make it easier to get an account.

Yes got one at SCB but I've shown my Yellow Book and DL.

3 Friends of mine have just applied for DTV at Jakarta
1) Simple one page letter of employment from company in Russia, allowing remote work and independent choice of location. In English.
with Logo, Address, Website, TaxID, Company Reg.No at the top.

2) Simple ending balance e-statement from Russian bank, not stamped, in English.

1b) one of them used the medical route, same dental clinic I went to, in Thai.

All of them have successfully received the visa slip.

What, they only paid 600k IDR for the DTV? That's only 40 USD!

 

Or is it 5600k ? That would be 370 USD, more likely.

5600k look closely.
