Thailand DTV Visa

As of July 15, 2024, the Thai government has confirmed the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is now live for those looking to work and travel (“workcation”) in Thailand. The DTV allows holders to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days per entry and is valid for 5 years.

Known informally as the “digital nomad visa,” the DTV is a cost-effective and convenient Thai visa option if you are a freelancer, digital nomad, or remote worker seeking a simple way to work from the tropical paradise of Thailand.

Alternatively, you can also qualify for this visa if you plan to participate in so-called “Thai Soft Power” activities. You are eligible for the DTV if you plan to attend Thai boxing or cooking classes, participate in sports training, undergo medical treatments, take short-term educational courses, take part in seminars, or join artistic or musical festivals.
