What Is the DTV Visa?

The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a 5-year multiple-entry visa allowing long stays in Thailand for work-from-anywhere professionals, cultural visitors, and long-term lifestyle travelers.

Key features include:
• 5-year validity (multi-entry)
• 180-day stay per entry, extendable for an additional 180 days
• Eligibility for spouses and children under 20
• Designed for remote work, Thai cultural activities, and long-term stays

This visa is one of the most flexible long-stay options available, with significantly fewer requirements compared to traditional long-term visas.
