The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a long-term visa designed for digital nomads, freelancers, remote workers, and those engaging in Thai cultural activities such as cooking classes, Muay Thai, and medical tourism. It allows for an extended stay in Thailand with multiple entry options.

The DTV Visa is valid for up to 5 years. However, each stay is limited to 180 days per entry, after which you can extend your stay for another 180 days or leave and re-enter to reset the 180-day limit.

You cannot obtain a work permit for employment with a Thai company under the DTV Visa. However, you are allowed to work remotely for a foreign company or as a freelancer while staying in Thailand.

To qualify, you must:

• Be at least 20 years old
• Show proof of 500,000 THB in liquid assets or have a Thai sponsor
• Provide documents related to your purpose for staying in Thailand (e.g., Proof of Confirmation for cultural activities)

Yes, your spouse and children under 20 can apply for dependent visas under the DTV Visa program, allowing them to stay with you in Thailand.

You can apply for the DTV Visa at your nearest Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate, or through Thailand’s e-Visa system. Upon enrolling in our Discover Thailand Program, we will provide the necessary Proof of Confirmation for your visa application.

• Program Fee: Our Discover Thailand Program costs 24,900 Baht. This includes language and cultural classes, cooking workshops, and visa support documentation.

• Visa Fee: The initial DTV Visa fee is typically 10,000 THB, though this may vary depending on the Thai embassy or consulate in your country.

• Visa Extensions: Each visa extension (up to 180 days) costs an additional 1,900 THB. You can extend your stay once per entry to nearly one year in Thailand before needing to re-enter.

This combination provides a complete package for your extended stay in Thailand, including cultural immersion and visa assistance.

You can extend your DTV Visa once per entry for an additional 180 days by following these steps:

1. Visit the Local Immigration Office
   Head to the nearest immigration office in Thailand (Chiang Mai Immigration Office if you’re part of our program) before your 180-day stay expires.

2. Pay the Extension Fee
   The extension fee is 1,900 THB.

3. Visa Extension Documentation
   As part of our program, we provide free visa extension documentation support for your first extension to make the process smoother.

By extending your visa, you can stay in Thailand for nearly one year without leaving the country!

Yes, the DTV Visa allows for multiple entries, so you can leave and re-enter Thailand without losing your visa. However, you must apply for a Re-entry Permit before leaving Thailand to maintain your visa status.

If your DTV Visa application is denied, New Stamford offers a refund minus a 6,500 THB administration charge, provided you have followed all the application procedures correctly.
