Before you apply for a Thailand DTV Visa
The DTV Visa is a long-term visa for remote workers, digital nomads and frequent travellers. Before you start the application, it’s important to understand the basic requirements, documents and timeline. In this guide we’ll walk you through the full process and explain how DTV-Help can handle the paperwork for you.Step 2 — Prepare your documents
Before submitting your application, make sure you have the required documents ready:
Passport (bio page, valid for at least 6 months)
Recent passport-style photo
Proof of income or savings
Confirmation of remote work, freelance activity or employment
Health insurance covering your stay in Thailand
Proof of accommodation in Thailand (hotel booking, condo or rental contract)
DTV-Help checks all documents before submission to make sure nothing is missing or filled in incorrectly.
Step 3 — Submit your application online
You can apply through the official Thai e-Visa system or let DTV-Help submit the application for you.
Our team:

For most applicants the processing time is around 5-15 business days, but it may vary depending on your country and the workload of the Thai consulate.
