Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

WHO THIS IS FOR The DTV is designed for foreign nationals who: • Work remotely for an employer or clients based outside Thailand • Freelance or run an online business with overseas-sourced income • Are self-employed professionals, consultants, or creatives earning from foreign clients • Are digital entrepreneurs (e-commerce, content, SaaS) with revenue from overseas The DTV is not for people earning Thai-sourced income — that requires a Non-B visa and work permit. KEY REQUIREMENTS Age: 20 years or older. Financial: 500,000 THB (~USD 14,000 / AUD 21,000 as of June 2025) in your bank account. Three months of bank statements are standard; overseas statements in your home currency are accepted. Income proof: remote employment letter, freelance contracts, or business registration showing income sourced from outside Thailand.

Consulate selection: different consulates have different processing speeds and document emphases — we advise on the best option for your nationality.
