Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) Application Service Bundle

The DTV is a 5-year, multiple-entry visa that allows digital nomads, freelancers, remote workers, and cultural enthusiasts to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days per entry. It’s designed for individuals who want to combine work and leisure or immerse themselves in Thai cultural activities.

No. DTV holders are not allowed to obtain a Thai work permit or work for Thai companies, including freelancing for Thai clients. This visa is intended for remote workers employed by foreign companies or freelancers working with international clients.

Example: If you’re a content creator working for a US-based company, the DTV allows you to continue your work remotely while living in Thailand. However, offering services to Thai businesses is prohibited under this visa.

The typical processing time is 7–15 business days from the date your application is submitted. However, processing times may vary depending on the Thai embassy you apply through and whether additional documents are requested.

At Thai-co, we expedite the process by ensuring your application is complete and compliant with embassy requirements, minimizing delays.

Tip: Start your application at least one month in advance of your planned travel date to account for potential delays.

Yes! Your legal spouse and unmarried children under 20 years old can apply as dependents. Each dependent will need to submit their own application, but they will enjoy the same benefits as the primary DTV holder.

Documents Required for Dependents:

• Marriage certificate (for spouses).

• Birth or adoption certificates (for children).

• Additional supporting documents may be requested by the embassy.

Applicants must provide proof of financial stability, showing at least 500,000 THB in financial assets through:

• A six-month official bank statement with consistent activity.

• A sponsorship letter (if applicable).

Important: Cryptocurrency, stock, or investment statements are not accepted.

Why This Is Required:

Thailand requires financial proof to ensure DTV holders can sustain themselves during their stay without seeking local employment.

No. Applications for the DTV must be submitted from outside Thailand, either through the Thai e-Visa portal or at a Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate in your country of residence. If you are already in Thailand, you’ll need to leave and apply from abroad.

Popular Application Hubs:

If you’re already in Southeast Asia, nearby locations such as Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), or Singapore are convenient options.

Yes! You can extend your 180-day stay by an additional 180 days without leaving the country. Extensions must be processed at Bangkok’s Immigration Bureau, and the fee is 1,900 THB.

If your DTV application is denied, Thai-co offers partial refunds of the service fee, provided the denial is not due to applicant misrepresentation or incomplete documents. We’ll work with you to understand the reasons for denial and help address any issues if you wish to reapply.

You will only be required to pay Thai taxes on your foreign income if:

1. You stay in Thailand for more than 180 days in a calendar year, making you a tax resident.

2. You bring your foreign-earned income into Thailand.

    •    Government Fee: Approximately ฿ 10,000 (varies by embassy).

    •    Invoices or payment records.
    •    Contracts with international clients.
    •    Screenshots or links to your freelance profiles (e.g., Fiverr, Upwork, LinkedIn).

Yes, unless you apply for an extension, DTV holders must leave the country after 180 days. However, since the DTV is a multiple-entry visa, you can re-enter Thailand as many times as needed within its 5-year validity.

Yes! The DTV application can be submitted online via the official Thai e-Visa portal. Thai-co handles this process for you, ensuring all documents are accurate and complete.

No, eligible activities must last at least six months to qualify under the Thai soft power category.

Overstaying your visa can result in fines and potential restrictions on future entry to Thailand. We strongly advise planning your extension or departure at least two weeks before your visa’s expiration.

While Thai-co ensures your application is thoroughly prepared to maximize success, approval is ultimately at the discretion of the Thai embassy or consulate.
