What is the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)?
The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a long-term visa designed for digital nomads, remote workers, freelancers, and individuals who wish to participate in Thai cultural activities or receive medical treatment in Thailand.
It grants a multiple-entry stay of up to 5 years, with 180 days per entry. Each entry can be extended once for another 180 days at a local Immigration Office (fee: 1,900 THB). After that, depart and re-enter for a fresh 180-day period.
