Thailand Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

Everything you need to get your Thailand DTV visa, in one page

What is the DTV?

The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a 5-year multiple-entry visa for remote workers, digital nomads, and freelancers. It allows stays of up to 180 days per entry, making it perfect for people who want to work remotely while exploring Thailand.

Unlike tourist visas, the DTV is designed for people who have ongoing remote work arrangements or run online businesses. You'll need to prove your remote work status and meet financial requirements.

The visa costs around 10,000 THB (roughly $280 USD) and can be renewed. You can enter and exit Thailand as many times as you want during the 5-year validity period.

DTV Requirements Checklist

How to Apply: Step-by-Step

1

Prepare Your Documents

Gather all required documents: passport, photos, proof of funds, remote work documentation, accommodation bookings, and health insurance. Make sure everything is recent and properly formatted.

2

Choose Application Method

Apply through the Thai e-visa system (if available for your country), visit a Thai embassy/consulate in person, or use an authorized visa agent. Check which option works best for your location.

3

Submit & Pay

Submit your complete application with all documents and pay the visa fee (around 10,000 THB / $280 USD). Keep your receipt and any reference numbers they give you.

4

Wait for Processing

Processing typically takes 5-15 business days, depending on the embassy/consulate. Some locations offer expedited processing for additional fees. Check your application status regularly.

5

Get Your Visa

Once approved, collect your passport with the DTV visa sticker (or receive e-visa confirmation). Double-check all details are correct before traveling.

6

Enter Thailand

Present your passport with DTV visa at Thai immigration. You'll typically get a 180-day entry stamp. Keep your visa and entry documents safe—you'll need them for extensions or re-entry.
