Thailand Digital Nomad Visa (DTV)

The DTV is for foreign nationals who: • Work remotely for an employer or clients based outside Thailand — not a Thai company • Freelance or run an online business with income sourced from overseas • Are self-employed professionals, consultants, or creatives earning from foreign clients • Are digital entrepreneurs (e-commerce, content creation, SaaS, etc.) whose revenue comes from overseas

The DTV is not for people who work for Thai employers or earn Thai-sourced income — that requires a Non-B visa and work permit.

Age: 20 years or older. Financial: 500,000 THB (approximately USD 14,000 / AUD 21,000 as of June 2025) demonstrated in your bank account. Bank statements covering 3 months are the standard evidence. Overseas bank statements in your home currency are accepted. Income proof: evidence of remote employment, freelance contracts, or business registration showing your income comes from outside Thailand. Employment letters, service agreements, or business registration documents. Health insurance: required. A policy covering Thailand is required at time of application. No criminal record.

Initial visa: applied for at a Thai consulate in your home country (or online for some nationalities — check current availability). Grants a 5-year multiple-entry visa stamp. Before every entry: submit a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online 24–72 hours before you fly — mandatory for all nationalities and entry types since May 2025, separate from the DTV, and required again on every re-entry. Stay per entry: 180 days maximum per entry. In-country extension: the 180-day stay can be extended once in-country at Immigration for a further 180 days — giving up to 360 days continuous stay before you need to exit and re-enter. No annual fee: unlike the retirement visa, there is no annual extension fee — each 5-year DTV is a one-time issuance fee.

• Working for a Thai company or Thai clients • Earning Thai-sourced income • Employing Thai staff (a separate work permit and business registration is required for that)

Income documentation: we advise on how to present remote employment or freelance income evidence in the format Thai consulates expect. Document preparation and review: full checklist, pre-submission review. Consulate guidance: different consulates have different processing speeds and document emphases — we advise on the best consulate for your situation. Post-arrival: we assist with TM30 registration and in-country 180-day extension.

General guidance only. Requirements verified against official sources as of August 2026 (Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs mfa.go.th). DTV requirements have evolved since launch in 2024 — verify current requirements directly with the consulate before applying.
