The Thailand Cabinet recently announced several visa promotions to enhance the country's tourism, a key industry for Thailand. One of these promotions is the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), designed for long-term immigrant workers and digital nomads.
The DTV visa allows stays of up to 180 days with a visa issuance fee of ฿10,000 to ฿38,654 baht, valid for five years. DTV holders can extend their stay once per entry stamp for an additional 180 days with another 1,900 baht fee and may request to change the type of visa within the country.
The following passport holders may not be elidgible when applying for the DTV from countries which are not their own home country. These restrictions may vary from embassy, and consulate so it is best to confirm first before applying.
The Destination Thailand Visa allows you to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days per visit, with the option to extend for an additional 180 days each time. This multiple-entry visa is valid for 5 years, providing flexibility and convenience for long-term stays.
DTV holders can request to change the type of visa within the country, but this will terminate the DTV.
No work permit is required for the DTV visa if you are working under the Workation section and are employed by non-Thai entities. However, if you wish to work for Thai companies, you will need a work permit and a different type of visa.
Applying for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) can be a complex process, and it's crucial to get it right the first time since the application fee is non-refundable. One of the best ways to ensure a smooth and successful application is by using a professional agency. These agencies are well-versed in the intricacies of the visa application process and can help you avoid common pitfalls, ensuring a quicker approval.
While using an agency is highly recommended, you do have other options. You can apply in person at your local Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate. It's important to note that for the DTV, you must apply from the country where your employment is based. Each embassy and consulate may have different procedures, so it's advisable to call ahead to confirm the application process and fee, which may vary from the standard ฿10,000 to as much as ฿38,654.
Another option is to apply through the Thailand e-Visa website. This convenient method allows you to complete the application online and submit your documents either by uploading them or mailing them in. Although this option is non-refundable, it is crucial to ensure that you meet the eVisa qualifications beforehand. The eVisa application must be completed from the country where you can establish your presence.
