Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) Success Faces an Uncertain Future
File photo Since its launch last July, Thailand’s Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) has been wildly popular, designed to attract more visitors and encourage longer stays, boosting state coffers in the process. Although precise figures haven't been released, estimates suggest between 10,000 and 40,000 visas have been granted. Social media estimates lean towards the higher end. Despite some initial hiccups—such as inconsistencies in documentation requirements across Thai embassies—feedback on the popular DTV Facebook group shows a satisfaction rate of over 90%, writes Barry Kenyon for Pattaya Mail. The success largely stems from a flexible approach. The DTV was initially intended for applications from home countries. But now, quick visas can even be obtained via a brief stay abroad, with the Thai embassy in Taipei providing the fastest service. It allows walk-ins and processes applications within 24 hours/. The visa's potential hasn't gone unnoticed by Thai visa agents, who now offer visa runs, typically to Laos or Cambodia, managing travel and paperwork for a fee between 100,000 and 150,000 baht (around £2,200 to £3,300). The DTV grants a 180-day stay per entry, and according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, multiple re-entries are allowed, making it an attractive option. However, a possible 180-day extension at local Thai immigration offices remains murky, as the Ministry of the Interior has yet to comment. Concerns linger, particularly for freelancers and digital nomads. Misunderstandings about working legally are widespread, as any work interaction with the Thai economy is prohibited. Currently, DTV extensions are being granted, but future policies remain speculative, with some suggesting online applications or stricter controls. Whatever the outcome, the Thai Revenue Department is poised to tax income from people staying over 180 days annually, sparking little controversy thus far. As it stands, no final decision has been made, leaving visa holders and hopefuls in limbo. -- 2024-11-04 -

Is Trump going down?
Is Trump Going Down? Don't understand this question. Going down on whom, one might ask. A reasonable request for further clarification, obliviously. I never thought of Trump as one who would willing to go down on ANYONE.... I love Trump, these days. Trump will be the New Leader of the Free World....IMHO. BRAVO!!!! Trump will be the Second Coming.... During his Second Term in Office. I DO believe it...!!!!!!!!!! -
