Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)

No. The DTV is for remote work for employers or clients outside Thailand, or for recognised soft-power activities. Taking up employment with a Thai employer requires a Non-B visa and work permit instead.

The visa is valid for five years with multiple entries, and each entry allows a stay of up to 180 days. That 180-day stay can be extended once at a Thai immigration office, subject to the current rules.

No. The DTV is applied for through the Thai e-Visa system from outside Thailand, and applying from inside the country is a common reason applications fail. You must apply before travelling; confirm the process on the official e-Visa portal.

For the Workcation category you need evidence of remote work or freelance income from outside Thailand, plus financial evidence at the level required by the Thai mission, commonly framed around a 500,000 THB benchmark and shown through bank statements. Confirm the exact current figure with the Thai mission on the official e-Visa portal.

Yes. The DTV includes a dependant category covering a spouse and children under 20, alongside the Workcation and Thai Soft Power categories. Confirm the per-applicant dependant documents on the official e-Visa portal.
