DTV Visa (Destination Thailand Visa)
This new visa aims to attract high-quality tourists, remote workers (Digital Nomads), and individuals interested in participating in cultural activities in Thailand such as Muay Thai, traditional Thai massage, Thai cooking, and other activities related to Thai soft power.
Applicants must be at least 20 years old and provide proof of a bank deposit of no less than 500,000 THB maintained over the past 3 to 6 months prior to the visa application. The visa is valid for 5 years and allows multiple entries. Each stay in Thailand can last up to 180 days and can be extended once for another 180 days per entry.
Spouses and children under 20 years old of the main visa holder are eligible to apply as dependents. However, the application must be submitted from outside Thailand via the official e-Visa system. Visa holders are not permitted to work for or receive income from Thai companies. Long-term residents may be subject to Thai tax regulations if their income meets the criteria for taxation in Thailand. This visa is ideal for individuals who wish to live in Thailand long term while working remotely for overseas companies or clients, without the need for a Thai work permit.
