Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) — a 5-year multiple-entry visa launched by the Royal Thai Government on 15 July 2024 under Ministerial Regulation No.31 (B.E.2567). Each entry permits a 180-day stay, extendable once on-shore for a further 180 days (max 360/year). Government fee THB 10,000, processed via e-Visa or any Royal Thai Embassy worldwide.

What is the financial requirement?

Applicants must show liquid funds of at least THB 500,000 (about USD 14,000) held for the previous 6 months — accepted as a bank statement, fixed deposit, brokerage account, or sponsor letter with supporting documents. NYC pre-checks every statement against the Embassy checklist before submission to avoid rejection.

Can I work in Thailand on DTV?

Remote work for overseas employers or clients only — DTV explicitly excludes employment by a Thai-registered company under Immigration Order 327/2557. Working for a Thai entity (including freelance for a Thai client) requires a Non-B visa plus a Work Permit issued by the Ministry of Labour; NYC handles that conversion in 21 business days.

What if I stay longer than 180 days?

File the standard 90-day TM47 address report online via the Immigration Bureau portal (free), then a one-time 180-day extension at any Immigration office for THB 1,900 — total 360 days per entry. Leaving and re-entering on the same DTV resets the clock. NYC files TM47 on your behalf for THB 1,500.

Yes — DTV Dependent visas are available for a legal spouse and unmarried children under 20, at THB 10,000 per dependent. Required documents: marriage/birth certificates with Apostille (Thailand joined Hague 14 Dec 2024) plus certified Thai or English translation by an MoJ-registered translator.
