The visa for digital nomads, known as the Destination Thailand Visa or DTV visa in Thailand, is issued to remote workers for a period of up to 5 years. It is a multiple-entry visa that allows you to stay in Thailand for 180 days without leaving. After that, you can extend your stay for another six months. Once the extension ends, you can leave the country and re-enter again.
The Thai DTV is tailored for various categories of visitors:
- remote workers;
- travelers;
- participants in music festivals and seminars;
- medical tourists;
- students of Thai boxing, culinary arts, and other courses;
- fitness trainees.
How to get a DTV visa for Thailand? The visa can be applied for at a Thai consulate. Certain requirements must be met to qualify:
- Applicants must be at least 20 years old.
- Visa fees must be paid.
- Proof of at least 500,000฿ (or equivalent) in a bank account is required.
- Evidence of employment with a company or client work must be provided.
Applicants can also apply for this visa if their travel purpose is medical treatment, culinary courses, national sports training, and similar activities.
