DESTINATION THAILAND VISA PATTAYA ( DTV VISA )

Workcation (Digital Nomads, Freelancers, Remote Workers)

As mentioned before, the DTV’s target audience consists of digital nomads, freelancers, and remote workers. This means that if you work remotely for a foreign company or work for yourself as a freelancer or influencer, this visa is designed for you.

Though the Thai government has pointed out that “not just anyone” can obtain a Thailand DTV Visa as a digital nomad, they did not, as of this writing, specify the minimum income, employer, or social media follower requirements. Still, it is unlikely that you will qualify for the DTV Visa Thailand if the Thai authorities do not consider your foreign employer to be “legitimate.”

Thai Soft Power Activities

However, if you do not work online but want this visa anyway, you can still qualify for the Thailand DTV Visa if you plan to engage in “Thai Soft Power” activities. These include: 

• Muay Thai courses
• Thai cooking courses
• Sports training
• Medical treatment
• Seminars
• Music festivals

These activities enhance the prestige of Thailand’s culture and improve the country’s standing in the international community. This is why the government will let you acquire a DTV Visa Thailand to help spread the word about how great Thailand is.

Alternatively, you can also qualify for DTV visa if you plan to participate in so-called “Thai Soft Power” activities. You are eligible for the DTV if you plan to attend Thai boxing or cooking classes, participate in sports training, undergo medical treatments, take short-term educational courses, take part in seminars, or join artistic or musical festivals.
