Visas Available

For a 27-year-old planning to stay in Thailand for 1 year, several visa options are available.

  • Non-Immigrant Visa 'B': For work or business purposes, valid for up to 1 year, with possible extensions.
  • Non-Immigrant Visa 'ED': For education purposes, valid for the duration of the course.
  • Digital Nomad Visa (DTV): For remote workers, valid for up to 5 years, with the possibility of extension.

Requirements

To apply for the mentioned visas, the following documents are typically required:

  • Valid passport with at least 6 months' validity
  • Completed visa application form
  • Recent passport-sized photos
  • Proof of financial means (varies by visa type)
  • Additional documents specific to the chosen visa category (e.g., work contract for Non-Immigrant 'B', admission letter for Non-Immigrant 'ED', proof of remote work for DTV)

Visa Extensions

Depending on the visa type, extensions may be possible:

  • Non-Immigrant 'B': Can be extended based on work contract or business needs.
  • Non-Immigrant 'ED': Can be extended based on the duration of the course.
  • DTV: Can be extended, with the initial visa valid for up to 5 years.

Special Notes

As of May 1, 2025, non-Thai nationals must fill out a Digital Arrival Card at least 3 days before entry. For a 1-year stay, it's crucial to choose the right visa. For families with multiple members, different visa options may apply to each individual based on their age and purpose of stay.

"I just want to share with others whom are considering using them, that Thai Kru is an excellent service. They helped me with my STV visa. They helped me every step of the way. This was during a time where it was quite complex getting any visa in Thailand. During the application process, they were excellent especially regarding answering emails quickly and clearly. If there were any issues regarding the requirements I provided, they would inform me and help correct the issue. They had what seemed to be a perfectionist approach. It was very comforting. Everything went really well and it was hassle free. I also had them help me with my subsequent 90 day extension/report. That also went very well and hassle free. There’s no way I could have managed doing all of these processes on my own this smoothly. I’m very grateful and I continue to use there service till this day for my visa purposes in Thailand. I highly recommend them."
