Who is Eligible for the Thailand DTV Visa?
To apply for a DTV, you must fall under one of the following three categories:

Workcation (Digital Nomads, Freelancers, Remote Workers)

​the DTV’s target audience consists of digital nomads, freelancers, and remote workers.

This means that if you work remotely for a foreign company or work for yourself as a freelancer or influencer, this visa is designed for you.

Though the Thai government has pointed out that “not just anyone” can obtain a Thailand DTV Visa as a digital nomad, they did not, as of this writing, specify the minimum income, employer, or social media follower requirements. Still, it is unlikely that you will qualify for the DTV Visa Thailand if the Thai authorities do not consider your foreign employer to be “legitimate.”

​Thai Soft Power Activities

  • ​Muay Thai courses

  • Thai cooking courses

  • Sports training

  • Medical treatment

  • Seminars

  • Music festivals

​Dependant of Thailand DTV Holders

​There is no limit to the number of dependants you can bring to Thailand, but they must either be a spouse or a dependant child who is younger than 20 years old. Each dependent must apply separately and pay a separate visa fee.

​What are the Requirements for a Thailand DTV Visa?

1. Passport or Travel Document

2. Passport Photograph

3. Document Showing Current Location

4. Evidence of Financial Assets*

    o Amount of no less than 500,000 THB (differs by embassy)

    o Bank statements, payslips, or a sponsorship letter can act as evidence

5. Proof of Purpose of Visit:

    o Workcation: Employment contract, employment certificate from your country, or a professional portfolio showing your freelancer work

    o Thai Soft Power: Proof of confirmation to attend the activity or a letter of appointment from a hospital or medical center o Dependent of Primary DTV Holder: Proof of relationship, such as a marriage certificate, birth certificate, or certificate of adoption

*You must show that you have enough liquid assets to support yourself during your extended stay in Thailand. The minimum for this is 500,000 THB, but as you must apply for this visa from outside of Thailand, the embassy or consulate you apply through may demand to see a higher amount and will have their own set of criteria for how much evidence is required to demonstrate this.

DTV Visa Extension Costs

The DTV visa allows for a single extension of 180 days per entry. This extension must be requested at a Thai immigration office, with a fee of ฿1,900. You are eligible to apply for an extension once for each DTV entry stamp.
