Summary
Thailand started a new visa scheme last month that allows people who would usually come in as tourists to stay and work in the country. Launched on July 15, the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is aimed at luring remote workers, freelancers and so-called digital nomads. The scheme offers extended stay options, boosting the country's economy. Thailand's implementation of the DTV comes with the rise of digital nomadism worldwide. Critics say the visas are too easy to obtain and could attract too many foreign workers. Thailand is currently in an economic slump, and its officials are hoping to boost tourism with more overseas arrivals. Sudan war: Who is backing the two rivals?
