Our Process

1. 1

   Choose your route

   Workcation (remote work or freelance) and Thai soft-power activities use different supporting documents. Family members of DTV holders follow a separate dependent checklist.

2. 2

   Prepare your documents

   Gather passport, photo, location evidence, 500,000 THB financial proof, and the contract, portfolio, or activity confirmation that matches your route.

3. 3

   Submit your application

   Apply through the Thai e-Visa system or as directed by the embassy or consulate handling your jurisdiction.

4. 4

   Receive your DTV

   Processing times vary by mission. Your DTV is issued as directed by the consular officer (e.g. sticker in passport or e-visa confirmation).

5. 5

   Enter Thailand

   The DTV is a multiple-entry visa with 5-year validity; each entry allows a stay of up to 180 days (confirm conditions on your approval).

6. 6

   Optional: extend your stay

   You may apply for an extension at an immigration office in Thailand where permitted by current Immigration rules.
