In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the Thailand DTV Visa:
Let’s dive in.
The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a long-term visa introduced to make it easier for foreigners to stay in Thailand for extended periods—without the stress of constant visa runs.
To be eligible, you must fit into at least one of these nine categories:
Provide services to multiple clients without a single employer.
Example: Graphic designers, video editors, or copywriters with international clients.
Work for a foreign company but perform your duties remotely.
Example: Attending Zoom meetings with your New York office while sipping coffee in Bangkok.
Own and manage a business abroad while staying in Thailand.
Example: An e-commerce founder or agency owner overseeing operations online.
Enroll in structured Thai culinary courses or recurring cooking programs.
Train in authentic Muay Thai camps or fitness programs in Thailand.
Receive ongoing treatment or recovery therapy at Thai hospitals or clinics.
Attend recurring industry events, professional training, or workshops in Thailand.
Join a spouse or parent who qualifies under any of the above categories.
equirement: Proof of relationship (marriage or birth certificate).
Thailand’s immigration offices love clear, organized paperwork. Here’s your checklist:
The DTV is not for everyone. If you plan to work for a Thai employer or start a Thai company with local hires, you’ll need a Non-Immigrant B Visa with a work permit. For retirees or those seeking permanent long-term residence, consider the LTR Visa, O/A Retirement Visa, or membership programs.
Applying for a DTV visa can be overwhelming—but that’s where Thai Kru can help. We assist with:
