While we wait for details about the new DTV can you please recommend any visa agencies in either Bangkok, Pattaya or Udon Thani? I’ve just arrived on a tourist visa and I’m here to explore options on staying long term in some capacity. Thanks 🙏🏼
@@sfmz3 I used Siam Legal International, but I check all the boxes required to apply for my VISA of choice. In the Trendy Office Building, located in Soi Sukhumvit 13, there is plenty of "VISA agencies" specialized in "mission impossible" kind of cases (they are much more expensive, asking 35,000 THB for support in a VISA application, with a guaranteed 100% success rate. However, what they do is basically a fraud).
I’ve been coming and going to TH for 15 years. Having both short and long stay visas. I’ve been using visa services and I’ve done the paperwork myself. I’m pretty familliar with how TH gov thinks. Without having read the official info about the DTV _my interpretation_ is you can stay for 180 days in TH during a 5 year period with multiple entries. I.e. pop in for a week or two (no longer that 180 days) doing whatever while still be allowed to do some work and then leave again. Extending a visa is basically a new application when the old expires and therefor a new fee. 1 extention is normal for any visa nowadays and then you have to leave the country. You are allowed to do your own Freelance work or work for your current employer while staying in TH. This would normally require a work visa so DTV should be alot easier if you fit this profile. Do note that a NEW application for the same type of visa is NOT an extention of your current visa. You can apply over and over, just saying… ALSO do note that if you stay in TH for more than 180 days you become a tax resident of TH which is probably why the DTV is for 180 days only… I doubt you get anything for your tax-recidency status when it comes to public services, you still will have to keep xpat health insurance covering 400.000 thb minimum. The Thai multi year visa scheemes for 5/10/20 years which you can buy for millions of Bath are in reality not 5/10/20 year visas. They are 1 year Non-O Retired visas that will be applied for yearly by the staff working for the scheeme (they essentially act as a regular visa service). Yes, they throw in some massages etc included in the price but instead of paying 1900 THB / year for a Non-O Retired visa where you need to show 800.000 thb you pay millions of Bath extra for a few massages. You need to see through the hyoe with everything in TH. Buyer beware! You still need to do 90-day reporting of your whereabouts, there’s no getting around that. During my 15 years it has never been easier to apply for a visa than what it is currently. If you can spell your own name you can do it yourself. Contact the Thai embassy in your county or Thai Immigration and ask for a an application and a checklist of what paperwork they require, after assembling the documents, then it literally only takes about 7 minutes to fill out the application. They have made it much easier than what it used to be. Sorry for the long post! Good Luck and Welcome to Thailand. :)
Brother, can I ask you a question, I want to do it myself, as I see it's a waste of time paying 16k+ to some agency.. as I did my non o Visa myself. With the DTV, can I do it myself , and would I have to show the 800k?
You say that getting a Thai visa has never been easier than now. Can you give me an example, for a retiree like me without wanting to spend millions of baht? -Nils
@@maathejayandyjohns1343 You only need to show 800k thb for a 1 yeaar visa. DTV is only 6 months/year but always ask the Embassy or Immigration first. Rules change every time there’s a new boss in BKK…
So...indeed it is great news but without the actual confirmed 100% truth being out there, at the moment its all conjecture and hypothesis of what each individual thinks it means. My take is that in a 5 year period you can come in for two periods not exceeding 180 days at a time but those culmulative 180 days could be a stretch of say: 60 days, 20 days, 40 days, 10 days then 50 days FOR EXAMPLE, then your next period of 180 days starts (after a nifty 10k payment to re-up the visa) where you could for example do a straight 180 days in country. After that, apply again after 5 years has lapsed from origional uptake...with another 10k and proof of cash in bank (just in case). See how differently my assumation varies with everyone elses? Conjecture, hypothesis and clickbate (as opposed to any other type of 'bate) - we will need to wait and seeee........😁 Just saying!
I called to ask about the visa at the immigration checkpoint and they didn't tell me at all. This guy is just telling lies to get more views from his channel.ไม่ดี ไม่ควรนำมาลงเพื่อเกิดความเข้าใจผิดๆ มันคงเป็นเรื่องยากมาก กฏหมายในไทยที่จะทำอย่างเช่นคุณพูด

Still waiting on some or any official information on the 60 day Thai Visa Exemption. Someone puts this info out there, but no details & travelers need to know the details before they buy airline tickets.
hi, my DTV visa has just been confirmed. Does anyone here know from a reliable source how many days I have left until I have to enter TH? Normally it is 90 days after confirmation. But there is nothing about this on my visa. Thank you!!!
When you leave and come back your 180 days will reset, and you'll own no fee. this is literally what the re-entry is all about. essentially you're paying the 10,000 because you're choosing to buy a NEW DTV, and restarting your 180 days. Japan has this as well, and probably other countries. but seriously this is cheap and awesome.
Most of your video you are only surmising what might be, it hasn’t even been implemented yet and there are no real official details. You will not be able just to do border runs every 180 days and then re-enter and get another 180 days and then continue to do that for 5 years.
There's so much confusion around this visa. Some are saying it's 180 days each year for 5 years with one extension over the 5 years, so you would be in Thailand 6 months of the year, then you would need to live somewhere else for the other 6 months. Others are saying it's a total of 180 days for the entire 5 years with one extension. In this case, wouldn't you be able to buy another DTV after the 360 days? Then what you are saying, you can basically stay the whole year each year for 5 years as long as you leave the country every 6 months. Until we see it rolled out we won't know what the rules are, but I hope it happens soon!
I’m almost certain it’s not what he is saying in this video - 180 days of consecutive stay. Because then the 1 renewal isn’t really logical if you can just reset the original 180 days over and over for 5 years.
@@DiscoveringThailand How a tourist will open a bank in Thailand? You need a student visa at least in order to open an account in your name. I tried when I had a tourist visa and banks did not want to open an account to me.
This is the VISA I've been waiting for for so long time. I'm going to the embassy as quickly as I can, and will keep going back to the embassy until the DTV is open.. will definitely keep you informed how the process goes ❤ thanks for the information on this!
Hey RW4U, just applied for my DTV visa today! My background: definitely not retiring age and a new digital nomad. If anyone is interested how it goes, I can update this comment.
I'm confused? So you only get 180 days for 5 years, or as long as you go in and out during 5 years, you can come and go in 180-day periods. What's the point of a 5 years visa if you can only stay for 180 in the 5 years the visa is good? I don't think I understand how it works
Benefits of a Thailand DTV Visa These details are also not fully confirmed, and are subject to change: The income requirements and visa fees are lower for Thailand compared to other Southeast Asian countries offering similar visas. You can extend the visa once for up to 180 days which costs you 10,000 THB. A total of 93 foreign nationalities are eligible for the DTV Visa Thailand. This visa allows you to legally work remotely while in Thailand for international companies and clients. You can bring along your spouse and any children below the age of 20. As the visa lets you stay up to 180 days in Thailand, you won’t need to pay any taxes on income derived from foreign sources.
Thailand is always full of confusion re visa's. Two countries close to Thailand that have easy to get and understand visa'a are Cambodia and the Philippines. Thailand has not got a clue on how to it right. I treat it all now with a pinch of salt.
DTV suitable for Muay Thai and Thai cooking students - why would these people need a 5 years visa! That is a long time to study those subjects! Also for 'medical treatment' - 5 YEAR visa?! Maybe if you are in a coma!!
It's still not entirely clear if this visa is official yet since afaik it hasn't been published in the Royal Thai Gazette. And we're still waiting on how to apply for this visa. Hopefully more details coming soon...
Can the destination Thailand visa be used for somebody who just wants to stay in Thailand for an extended without working. This would be easier and cheaper than the LTV process.
This video was posted 4 hours ago and still has no helpful information. Way too many ifs and what's about this. Come on Chris, it would probably been better to wait it out until you have some actual answers to share.
Why don’t you interview Thai Immigration to get the information and then post the VISA terms and conditions. This bureaucratic nightmare and bothersome expensive stressful VISA runs makes Thailand a difficult place to visit.
I have a different interpretation (which is like having an opinion and an axxhole... everyone has one). My take is that you have 180 days per year in each year of the five year visa term, with a one-time option to extend 180 days in any one of those five years, but only ONCE. I disagree that you can reset the 180 clock by making a visa run. The multiple reentry just allows you to come and go as you please, but 180 days per year in Thailand is the max. But hey, TIT! I could be completely wrong.
@Dawg99999 That doesn't really make any sense. So a one-time stay of 180 days (6 mo) or five annual stays of 36 days, or some other short variable every two to three years? Don't see the logic or advantage of such a visa. You could come in on multiple 30-day exemption or 60-day tourist visas, and with extensions, stay longer. But hey... TIT.
Thank you Chris and Luca!!! LTR visa in process, house sold, rental $ coming in elsewhere- key finding: if over 180 days in TH money hitting thai bank account subject to tax. So arrange rent to be paid direct from Canada bank to landlord's bank account. Minimize money hitting thai bank account. Bring in max cash. Transfer CDN cash onto other intermediate payment card systems- use intermediate card for day to day.
You'll run into income reporting on either your 90-day reports or, more likely, the annual renewals. I'm sure you'll need to document how you're covering your living expenses.
I got the impression from your talking (and mic fiddling!), you seem to think you can re-enter Thailand anytime and get another 180 days after doing a border hop. Every web site I have read about DTV, and there are lots all say you are allowed a max stay of 180 days per year in 5 years with one option to extend 180 days whilst in Thailand. So you would need to find some other country to stay in for half of the 5 years period.
Eligibility Requirements for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) While details regarding how to apply for a Destination Thailand Visa are still pending, some information on the requirements you need to fulfill has already been released. You need to meet the following eligibility requirements for the visa (subject to change): You must be at least 20 years old. You must have enough money to pay for the visa fee. You must prove that you possess at least 500,000 THB in your bank account to support your stay in the country. You must provide proof of employment with a registered company.
If I get a chance to go to Thailand I'm hiring a visa agent. Fcuk all this headache, I'll gladly pay them to deal with this idiotic garbage! Thailand: where we have many visas that fit very few 😕.
It is still all up in the air. When Thailand sort it all out I'll apply. I have been to Thailand for over 15 years on 3-month tourist visas and Thai retirement visas obtained from Australia's Thai Embassy. with the thought, I would live there in my final years. At present it is better to give Thailand a miss. Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Bali will do for now. My income is well more than Thai requirements usually Bt120,000 a month I am single. It's all a pig in a poke. I also own a house in Australia so all is a complicated effort, I need it simple...
Chris...That's the Same Old "Former" Thai Visa (80s Amazing Thailand) Not a New Visa (Copied)....Prize Was $30.00 and $15.00 to Extend (Inflation).... Go out to Myamar to Redo for Another 90 Days... (179 Days Vacation Trip).....
The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a newly announced visa designed to support the government’s efforts to increase tourism in Thailand. It provides an incentive to foreigners that work remotely, colloquially referred to as “digital nomads”, to stay and work in Thailand for extended periods without immigration or tax concerns. If you successfully acquire a DTV, you will be rewarded with a 5-year multiple-entry visa and the right to stay in Thailand for a total of 180 days a year, with an option to extend for another 180 days. This is the perfect kind of visa if you’re looking to experience the Land of Smiles as a remote worker and earn income without the many restrictions and drawbacks of standard tourist visas.
I was already amazed about it back in the end of may when they talked about it the first time. Lets see how this unfolds in the next couple of weeks. It would be a great deal spending 6 months a year in the land of the smiles before i rethaire C.J. thanks for this vid and looking forward to the next buddy. And as always, C Ya in the next one Cheers 👊🍻
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you could go .. July '24-1 Jan 25 ..6 months, then Jan25-July'25...extend that for 6 months...then 6 months Jan '26-July '26....so 2 years straight out of the 5.
My partner and i got a 12 month non immigrant OA visa. It was very easy to get. There were a few issues with the forms as it seems a few questions have the same answer but a few emails to the consulate and it was sorted. We are now in Bangkok and have been for the last 17 days.
I applied for the non immigrant OA visa online in Berlin. For the first time there were questions about health insurance. But when everything was filled out on Friday afternoon, I received the e-visa on Monday morning. I now have the 2nd visa. Greetings from Chonburi
that's simple Chris. Living there for no more than 180 days per year (accumulated) and also is not going to trigger the tax implications. That's a great visa for those earning the income from outside Thailand. The bad part, you have get out and live in a different country for min 6 months every single year. It's the same in Canada for the multi-entry visas.
@Privateuser9999 I'm in Penang now and it's pretty nice and inexpensive. It's more secular than the rest of the ciuntry. The air is clean as well. Sexpats, cannibis users and alcoholics would not like it here though. After 20 years in Thailand that is the majority of expats there.
@nigab1111 Yes, sure. So those looking for long term plan to live in Thailand should reconsider their destination unless they like to pay 35% income tax on already taxed money.
I can see many people are happy but I worry about this with this new DTV visa you can be any age, a pot smoking, crypto bro, drop-shipping, new age vlogger, sex tourist lay about, that contributes nothing and can now pretty much live in Thailand with almost zero requirements.

A very annoying presentation of changes that were announced 2 months ago. The video takes 15 minutes to state what could have been stated in less than 5 minutes. The combination of smarmy presentation, and assumed expertise makes for an annoying presentation.
Thanks Chris, Great news! I seen your video where you said you were now ready to move to Koh Samui! I’ll be visiting there for 3 months beginning the first of August, maybe I’ll run into you!!
OF COURSE they are going to apply the 10,000 baht again for the next round! I have zero doubt. But that's only like $275 USD. If a $550 per year cost deters people from using this visa, then in my opinion, they are not "digital nomad" enough to do this and should probably stay at home or go to Cambodia or whatever instead (I don't know whether Cambodia would be any cheaper).
Is the term actually RENEWAL or EXTENSION? It sounds to me like the 180 days is a cap. So regardless whether you come for one month at a time, six times in one year or you come for 6 months in a single trip you cannot stay 181 days. And this makes sense because on that 181st day you will become a tax resident. You might as well get the LTR at that point. I think the word RENEWAL means you can renew a DTV one time only. Like term limits. When your 5 years end you can get another 5 years but when that expires you're done. You'll have to leave or change your visa category. What do they say about health insurance with a DTV? Do you need to get tourist / expat coverage or are you eligible for local? That should give you a big clue. Again, I'm not a legal expert and of course government rules are often not logical but this would be my take based on what you presented in this video.
Sounds to me this ideal (and targeted) for those who want to 'winter" in Thailand. As most will come from Northern hemisphere this will lift the economy in the 'off season', but you could also use your 180 days/Yr in chunks. Either way, each time you stay it will eat up your 180 days, no visa runs to get another 180 days, as this is why they offer the one off extension? If I'm wrong, then I really don't understand and it's more complicated than it needs to be, again?!
I think this is the best option for me at this moment. I am retired and have as-well the required 800000 Bath on the bank, as the 65000 Bath income, to get a retirement visa. But at this moment I still work some extra in Europe and live on my sailing yacht in the south of France. But every winter I go for 3 or 4 month to spend winter in my beloved Thailand. Each time with one long or two short border runs. With creates the problem of expensive accommodation. And in-between flights that also consume money. If I can rent for 6 month; I can have a really comfortable room near Srinakarin or OneNut for less then 10000 Bath a month. Witch makes my winterhome cheap and comfortable. And besides I can do some remote work for my European employer. I just wonder; if I will have to pay taxes when I stay there for 5 month? And second; where will I have to pay each year those 10000 Bath visa fee? Or is it to pay 50000 Bath at once when you et the visa? If somebody knows more and has experience. You can always let me know. 👌
I'm sorry, but if this visa allows me to stay 180 days (or by extension 360 days) a year, it's not a 5-year visa. It's maybe a total of 1 year visa, not 5 years. And I think it's not really better than the regular tourist visa which is now extended for 60 days visa exemption (I know, not really visa), and if you do the calculation, 60 days a year, times 5 years, you get a total of 300 days in 5 years. So if the DTV is really for 1 year in total, it ain't a 5-year visa.
Not sure I see the point of DTV visa if you get 60+30 easily for 2000 baht and can continue doing visa runs. 180 +180 total in 5 years isnt really that much. Think I will continue with my visa runs.
Can you talk about becoming a resident if you are retired and marry a Thai woman ? I'm looking at this situation now. I'm already retired from the USA and potentially have a future Thai wife. I just need to know how Thai immigration allows foreigners married to Thai nationals to reside in Thailand permanently. If not, are there any SE Asian countries that allow foreigners to live permanently through dual-citizenship ? What if I have children here in Thailand with my Thai wife ?
TOO MANY you Tubes on the visa subject and no one seem to know the actual facts. And where would it be a good visa if I can only stay 360 days within 5 years. Useless! I can travel with a tourist visa and stay 60 days and extend to 90 days. I can do that several times over 5 years and can stay longer. And all other visas which are really easy are freaking expensive. Even this one is too expensive. All Thailand has been doing lately is pissing off Farangs. Too complicated visas, too expensive and too many requirements. Not to start about the Taxes which as well no one seems to have facts to go by.
Why would I want this if they are going to start taxing my income? WTF. My yearly retirement Visa was good enough. Now I Donn't even want that as I don't want to be taxed by Thailand for money I'm bringing in to spend in the local economy. I'm already traveling and spending my money in other contras while th local Thais I used to support are suffering. SFS.
Sorry, but I'm a total novice at this, but if I want to travel through thailand for several months. 6 months roughly. Do I just go for a 2 month visa and do a visa runs or is there another way? Also do I need a return ticket to enter Thailand. I'm planning to travel through the country but want to return at my own will from whichever country I'm in when I want to return. If you can give any advice I'd appreciate it. Is it even possible to get a two months visa?
Sorry you are trying to be optimistic and upbeat about Thailand but as usual with any information relating to visas Thailand like to treat us like a mushrooms ( keep us in the dark and feed us sh*t) Think this visa will suit many people but not those wishing to stay here long term, they will let you stay the 180 days but anything longer will require so many hoops for you to jump through that it becomes impractical. This is not going to be a visa run visa where you can simply hop over the border and then stay for a further 6 months (if thats what they wanted they just let people do continuous visa runs but they have spent years trying to stop those practices. Any extension over the 180 days will require tax registration and proof of income This visa would be cheaper and easier for retirees especially if dependent are included at the moment its 800,000 each for a married couple of expats, So many questions about this visa lol
Clarity is the big word... Nothing Clear & the rules change at the drop of a hat depending on how much they think they can squeeze out of you...not really a stable future garanteed so always have an escape plan back to your country or else where...& buying condos & cars etc. Is a risk.
This is not going to happen. Local immigration offices and Visa run companies won't allow it. Sorry to inform this. I do hope visa situation becomes more friendly for falang, but this is just fairytale info by non immigration government officials. Take care everyone.
Im in thailand, my first visit. My first impression, this is a land dump. And my honest opinion is that thailand should keep western tourism out ... gain self respect, and work with other parts of the world, to build a real economy .. and top selling drugs and their woman
Actually, please help me with with all the details to be a Malaysian visa host! Sure, I can go to Indonesia after a while, but I want to START in Malaysia!! ☺
Thailand are the only country in the world who treat immigration as a business to make as much money as they can. Most countries issue visas which are all unlimited re-entry included, not Thailand. This new visa might be 10,000 baht per 6 months. Anyone staying longer might be treated as a Thai tax resident and forced to pay 17% tax.
from their site - Furthermore, you can extend the 180-day period for another 180 days, once per year for an extension fee. So in effect, you can stay in Thailand for nearly an entire year before having to leave and re-enter. so it appears its NOT a 1 X allowance
If you take a visa run and stay more than 180 days are you then subject to taxation. See the other video from today. And, maybe I move to malaysia. I can own land there....
They can't answer that here as everyone has a unique situation so you need to consult an accountant, for most people taxis on remittance only into Thailand and it can easily be minimised
I don’t understand the interest. In Vietnam I have always taken multiple entry visas but in Thailand I don’t need a Visa. In Thailand, you can go in and out as many times as you want. With any long term visa in Thailand, you are (will be) hit by the terrible new taxes.
When it seems too good to be true, it can be. Especially with Thailand that always adds lastminute very hard to match criteria. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Great video but I would have liked the lawyer to explain the double tax treaty whern you used 🇬🇧 retiree My understanding is that if you have already paid tax on your pension and live in 🇬🇧 you are excempt
Appreciate the vids but after reading some of the comments I'm still unclear on what the reality is! Why on earth do they make these visas so ambiguous. Tea leaves are easier to read!
It makes absolutely no sense to me that you get a 5 year visa but you have to leave and enter the country after 180 days just to get another 180 days lol. Then don't call it a 5 year Visa if you must leave the country after half a year...
It sounds like you don't even need a laptop, l don't think they are going to bother asking about a business form or otherwise these things are not necessary business comes in all shapes and sizes.
This sounds good as i want to spend 6 months in Thailand and 6 months somewhere else. I thought it was 180 days and then 180 days within the five years and that's it. You basically get 360 days within five years
There is something I didn’t get yet , what if I stayed for 180 days then went out for a month or 2 .. can i back to Thailand again in the same year and get 180 days .. or i have to leave the country for 6 months to back again? Please clarify that
This was what I understood to, like you I don't work... also where do you need this ฿500.000 in a Thai bank? or your own country's bank .. guess we wait to see

The Thai multi year visa scheemes for 5/10/20 years which you can buy for millions of Bath are in reality not 5/10/20 year visas. They are 1 year Non-O Retired visas that will be applied for yearly by the staff working for the scheeme (they essentially act as a regular visa service). Yes, they throw in some massages etc included in the price but instead of paying 1900 THB / year for a Non-O Retired visa where you need to show 800.000 thb you pay millions of Bath extra for a few massages. You need to see through the hyoe with everything in TH. Buyer beware! You still need to do 90-day reporting of your whereabouts, there’s no getting around that.

Thank you for the explanation. You also helped me understand the scheme behind the so-called “elite visa.” That bit of information was very helpful.
The elite also allows people under 50.

My take is that in a 5 year period you can come in for two periods not exceeding 180 days at a time but those culmulative 180 days could be a stretch of say: 60 days, 20 days, 40 days, 10 days then 50 days FOR EXAMPLE, then your next period of 180 days starts (after a nifty 10k payment to re-up the visa) where you could for example do a straight 180 days in country.
After that, apply again after 5 years has lapsed from origional uptake...with another 10k and proof of cash in bank (just in case).
See how differently my assumation varies with everyone elses?
Conjecture, hypothesis and clickbate (as opposed to any other type of 'bate) - we will need to wait and seeee........😁
Just saying!
I called to ask about the visa at the immigration checkpoint and they didn't tell me at all. This guy is just telling lies to get more views from his channel.ไม่ดี ไม่ควรนำมาลงเพื่อเกิดความเข้าใจผิดๆ มันคงเป็นเรื่องยากมาก กฏหมายในไทยที่จะทำอย่างเช่นคุณพูด

Still waiting on some or any official information on the 60 day Thai Visa Exemption. Someone puts this info out there, but no details & travelers need to know the details before they buy airline tickets.
hi, my DTV visa has just been confirmed. Does anyone here know from a reliable source how many days I have left until I have to enter TH? Normally it is 90 days after confirmation. But there is nothing about this on my visa. Thank you!!!
When you leave and come back your 180 days will reset, and you'll own no fee. this is literally what the re-entry is all about. essentially you're paying the 10,000 because you're choosing to buy a NEW DTV, and restarting your 180 days. Japan has this as well, and probably other countries. but seriously this is cheap and awesome.
Most of your video you are only surmising what might be, it hasn’t even been implemented yet and there are no real official details. You will not be able just to do border runs every 180 days and then re-enter and get another 180 days and then continue to do that for 5 years.
There's so much confusion around this visa. Some are saying it's 180 days each year for 5 years with one extension over the 5 years, so you would be in Thailand 6 months of the year, then you would need to live somewhere else for the other 6 months. Others are saying it's a total of 180 days for the entire 5 years with one extension. In this case, wouldn't you be able to buy another DTV after the 360 days? Then what you are saying, you can basically stay the whole year each year for 5 years as long as you leave the country every 6 months. Until we see it rolled out we won't know what the rules are, but I hope it happens soon!
I’m almost certain it’s not what he is saying in this video - 180 days of consecutive stay. Because then the 1 renewal isn’t really logical if you can just reset the original 180 days over and over for 5 years.

Nothing new here, Many channels have reported this and nothing is approved. Contact your embassy for updated info before you plan anything.
The big question is... Where do you need to have the 500K, in a foreign bank or need to be in Thailand? This is the only thing no-one can explain yet
These RUclipsrs s*ck
@@dontysk Must be in a bank in Thailand. just like any visa requiring proof of funds.
@@DiscoveringThailand How a tourist will open a bank in Thailand? You need a student visa at least in order to open an account in your name. I tried when I had a tourist visa and banks did not want to open an account to me.

This is the VISA I've been waiting for for so long time. I'm going to the embassy as quickly as I can, and will keep going back to the embassy until the DTV is open.. will definitely keep you informed how the process goes ❤ thanks for the information on this!

Hey RW4U, just applied for my DTV visa today! My background: definitely not retiring age and a new digital nomad. If anyone is interested how it goes, I can update this comment.
Would love to hear your experience since my wife and I will be moving to Thailand end of 2025.
Yes, please. Thank you so much.
Why talk about other Visas you confuse people. Just talk about Thailand visa.
By the time I get over there (6 years) to retire I'm afraid Thailand will be too Westernized.
I'm confused? So you only get 180 days for 5 years, or as long as you go in and out during 5 years, you can come and go in 180-day periods.
What's the point of a 5 years visa if you can only stay for 180 in the 5 years the visa is good? I don't think I understand how it works
Benefits of a Thailand DTV Visa
These details are also not fully confirmed, and are subject to change:
The income requirements and visa fees are lower for Thailand compared to other Southeast Asian countries
offering similar visas.
You can extend the visa once for up to 180 days which costs you 10,000 THB.
A total of 93 foreign nationalities are eligible for the DTV Visa Thailand.
This visa allows you to legally work remotely while in Thailand for international companies and clients.
You can bring along your spouse and any children below the age of 20.
As the visa lets you stay up to 180 days in Thailand, you won’t need to pay any taxes on income derived from foreign sources.
I have non O visa single entry i always get my passport stamped for re entry and my retirement visa just continues when i get back
Thailand is always full of confusion re visa's.
Two countries close to Thailand that have easy to get and understand visa'a are Cambodia and the Philippines.
Thailand has not got a clue on how to it right.
I treat it all now with a pinch of salt.
Why didn't you what till it's a real Visa..not a wish visa..?
I just moved to Thailand 2 weeks ago. Your videos have been very helpful! Thank you!
thats great, how's it going?
DTV suitable for Muay Thai and Thai cooking students - why would these people need a 5 years visa!
That is a long time to study those subjects!
Also for 'medical treatment' - 5 YEAR visa?! Maybe if you are in a coma!!
Amazing Thailand 😂😂😂😂😂
Fact is Farang must pay 💰
It's still not entirely clear if this visa is official yet since afaik it hasn't been published in the Royal Thai Gazette. And we're still waiting on how to apply for this visa. Hopefully more details coming soon...
It is not even implemented yet, and there is no time frame mentioned yet.
Can the destination Thailand visa be used for somebody who just wants to stay in Thailand for an extended without working. This would be easier and cheaper than the LTV process.
This video was posted 4 hours ago and still has no helpful information. Way too many ifs and what's about this. Come on Chris, it would probably been better to wait it out until you have some actual answers to share.
Just wait until its in The Royal Gazette,all the other information is not and shall not be until that Day.😊
Why don’t you interview Thai Immigration to get the information and then post the VISA terms and conditions. This bureaucratic nightmare and bothersome expensive stressful VISA runs makes Thailand a difficult place to visit.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I have a different interpretation (which is like having an opinion and an axxhole... everyone has one). My take is that you have 180 days per year in each year of the five year visa term, with a one-time option to extend 180 days in any one of those five years, but only ONCE. I disagree that you can reset the 180 clock by making a visa run. The multiple reentry just allows you to come and go as you please, but 180 days per year in Thailand is the max. But hey, TIT! I could be completely wrong.
I totally agree with you, they probably go by the original entry stamp once you hit 180 days you either need to extend or gtfo
Correct, you will not just be able to do border runs every 180 days, and then come back and get another 180 days on re-entry.
I can guarantee that Thai Immigration will not approve/renew a second DTV if it is used twice in a year.
@Dawg99999 That doesn't really make any sense. So a one-time stay of 180 days (6 mo) or five annual stays of 36 days, or some other short variable every two to three years? Don't see the logic or advantage of such a visa. You could come in on multiple 30-day exemption or 60-day tourist visas, and with extensions, stay longer. But hey... TIT.
@@realpropertymangement7640 yes 180 days max a year
Any news about the 60 day visa exemption???
Thank you Chris and Luca!!! LTR visa in process, house sold, rental $ coming in elsewhere- key finding: if over 180 days in TH money hitting thai bank account subject to tax. So arrange rent to be paid direct from Canada bank to landlord's bank account. Minimize money hitting thai bank account. Bring in max cash. Transfer CDN cash onto other intermediate payment card systems- use intermediate card for day to day.
If I have two houses in the USA and they provide rental income how would Thailand 🇹🇭 tax this?
You'll run into income reporting on either your 90-day reports or, more likely, the annual renewals. I'm sure you'll need to document how you're covering your living expenses.
@@realpropertymangement7640 I have no clue what you mean
@@realpropertymangement7640
Best way to lose your Thai visa, don't report your funds or pay taxes.
Great tips brother, I'll have to pass on info to buddy's
I got the impression from your talking (and mic fiddling!), you seem to think you can re-enter Thailand anytime and get another 180 days after doing a border hop. Every web site I have read about DTV, and there are lots all say you are allowed a max stay of 180 days per year in 5 years with one option to extend 180 days whilst in Thailand. So you would need to find some other country to stay in for half of the 5 years period.
That's my understanding too
0r countries……(its a big world out there)
Yes, I double this statement
You are right!
You ok so ripped lol
Is not 180 days in one calendar year? That would make sense for snowbirds
Too much waffle.
Eligibility Requirements for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV)
While details regarding how to apply for a Destination Thailand Visa are still pending, some information on the requirements you need to fulfill has already been released. You need to meet the following eligibility requirements for the visa (subject to change):
You must be at least 20 years old.
You must have enough money to pay for the visa fee.
You must prove that you possess at least 500,000 THB in your bank account to support your stay in the country.
You must provide proof of employment with a registered company.
We need proof of employment as I understand it. (No income, cant be the fact based on that.) /Source Thai Embassy (webpage)
If I get a chance to go to Thailand I'm hiring a visa agent. Fcuk all this headache, I'll gladly pay them to deal with this idiotic garbage! Thailand: where we have many visas that fit very few 😕.
It is still all up in the air. When Thailand sort it all out I'll apply. I have been to Thailand for over 15 years on 3-month tourist visas and Thai retirement visas obtained from Australia's Thai Embassy. with the thought, I would live there in my final years. At present it is better to give Thailand a miss. Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Bali will do for now. My income is well more than Thai requirements usually Bt120,000 a month I am single. It's all a pig in a poke. I also own a house in Australia so all is a complicated effort, I need it simple...
As for the confusion that's mentioned , embassy website does explain it clearly I thought
Chris...That's the Same Old "Former" Thai Visa (80s Amazing Thailand) Not a New Visa (Copied)....Prize Was $30.00 and $15.00 to Extend (Inflation).... Go out to Myamar to Redo for Another 90 Days... (179 Days Vacation Trip).....
The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is a newly announced visa designed to support the government’s efforts to increase tourism in Thailand. It provides an incentive to foreigners that work remotely, colloquially referred to as “digital nomads”, to stay and work in Thailand for extended periods without immigration or tax concerns.
If you successfully acquire a DTV, you will be rewarded with a 5-year multiple-entry visa and the right to stay in Thailand for a total of 180 days a year, with an option to extend for another 180 days. This is the perfect kind of visa if you’re looking to experience the Land of Smiles as a remote worker and earn income without the many restrictions and drawbacks of standard tourist visas.
I was already amazed about it back in the end of may when they talked about it the first time. Lets see how this unfolds in the next couple of weeks. It would be a great deal spending 6 months a year in the land of the smiles before i rethaire C.J. thanks for this vid and looking forward to the next buddy. And as always, C Ya in the next one Cheers 👊🍻
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you could go ..
July '24-1 Jan 25 ..6 months, then Jan25-July'25...extend that for 6 months...then 6 months Jan '26-July '26....so 2 years straight out of the 5.
So.... no new news
My partner and i got a 12 month non immigrant OA visa. It was very easy to get. There were a few issues with the forms as it seems a few questions have the same answer but a few emails to the consulate and it was sorted. We are now in Bangkok and have been for the last 17 days.
Wow That's awesome! Hope u got a good air fare? Did u get a Airbnb? Cost and size how u find a place? Living the Dream 😊
What country did ye come from @nigelconder4299
I applied for the non immigrant OA visa online in Berlin. For the first time there were questions about health insurance. But when everything was filled out on Friday afternoon, I received the e-visa on Monday morning. I now have the 2nd visa. Greetings from Chonburi
Yeah but you and your partner are both over 50, right? You're omitting a key requirement here, quite misleading to some of us.
@@shellcasing1040 no, they identified themselves as over 50 lol ......
If you stay over 180 days, you become a Thai taxpayer, foreign sourced income gets taxed also, this added on Jan. 2024
Absolutely untrue in many cases
that's simple Chris. Living there for no more than 180 days per year (accumulated) and also is not going to trigger the tax implications. That's a great visa for those earning the income from outside Thailand. The bad part, you have get out and live in a different country for min 6 months every single year. It's the same in Canada for the multi-entry visas.
It`s Thailand, not Canada. Things can be different
@Privateuser9999 I'm in Penang now and it's pretty nice and inexpensive. It's more secular than the rest of the ciuntry. The air is clean as well. Sexpats, cannibis users and alcoholics would not like it here though. After 20 years in Thailand that is the majority of expats there.
@@somchai9033 Like yourself, im guessing !
@nigab1111 Yes, sure. So those looking for long term plan to live in Thailand should reconsider their destination unless they like to pay 35% income tax on already taxed money.
@@MB-gr6br Cash is not taxed and also using ATM machine with foreign card and account is not taxed. Lots of ways around this bullshit.

Thanks Chris, Great news! I seen your video where you said you were now ready to move to Koh Samui! I’ll be visiting there for 3 months beginning the first of August, maybe I’ll run into you!!
OF COURSE they are going to apply the 10,000 baht again for the next round! I have zero doubt. But that's only like $275 USD. If a $550 per year cost deters people from using this visa, then in my opinion, they are not "digital nomad" enough to do this and should probably stay at home or go to Cambodia or whatever instead (I don't know whether Cambodia would be any cheaper).
Is the term actually RENEWAL or EXTENSION?
It sounds to me like the 180 days is a cap. So regardless whether you come for one month at a time, six times in one year or you come for 6 months in a single trip you cannot stay 181 days. And this makes sense because on that 181st day you will become a tax resident. You might as well get the LTR at that point.
I think the word RENEWAL means you can renew a DTV one time only. Like term limits. When your 5 years end you can get another 5 years but when that expires you're done. You'll have to leave or change your visa category.
What do they say about health insurance with a DTV? Do you need to get tourist / expat coverage or are you eligible for local? That should give you a big clue.
Again, I'm not a legal expert and of course government rules are often not logical but this would be my take based on what you presented in this video.
Sounds to me this ideal (and targeted) for those who want to 'winter" in Thailand. As most will come from Northern hemisphere this will lift the economy in the 'off season', but you could also use your 180 days/Yr in chunks.
Either way, each time you stay it will eat up your 180 days, no visa runs to get another 180 days, as this is why they offer the one off extension?
If I'm wrong, then I really don't understand and it's more complicated than it needs to be, again?!
I think this is the best option for me at this moment. I am retired and have as-well the required 800000 Bath on the bank, as the 65000 Bath income, to get a retirement visa.
But at this moment I still work some extra in Europe and live on my sailing yacht in the south of France. But every winter I go for 3 or 4 month to spend winter in my beloved Thailand. Each time with one long or two short border runs. With creates the problem of expensive accommodation. And in-between flights that also consume money. If I can rent for 6 month; I can have a really comfortable room near Srinakarin or OneNut for less then 10000 Bath a month. Witch makes my winterhome cheap and comfortable. And besides I can do some remote work for my European employer.
I just wonder; if I will have to pay taxes when I stay there for 5 month? And second; where will I have to pay each year those 10000 Bath visa fee? Or is it to pay 50000 Bath at once when you et the visa?
If somebody knows more and has experience. You can always let me know. 👌
I'm sorry, but if this visa allows me to stay 180 days (or by extension 360 days) a year, it's not a 5-year visa. It's maybe a total of 1 year visa, not 5 years. And I think it's not really better than the regular tourist visa which is now extended for 60 days visa exemption (I know, not really visa), and if you do the calculation, 60 days a year, times 5 years, you get a total of 300 days in 5 years. So if the DTV is really for 1 year in total, it ain't a 5-year visa.
Not sure I see the point of DTV visa if you get 60+30 easily for 2000 baht and can continue doing visa runs. 180 +180 total in 5 years isnt really that much. Think I will continue with my visa runs.
Can you talk about becoming a resident if you are retired and marry a Thai woman ?
I'm looking at this situation now.
I'm already retired from the USA and potentially have a future Thai wife.
I just need to know how Thai immigration allows foreigners married to Thai nationals to reside in Thailand permanently.
If not, are there any SE Asian countries that allow foreigners to live permanently through dual-citizenship ?
What if I have children here in Thailand with my Thai wife ?
TOO MANY you Tubes on the visa subject and no one seem to know the actual facts. And where would it be a good visa if I can only stay 360 days within 5 years. Useless! I can travel with a tourist visa and stay 60 days and extend to 90 days. I can do that several times over 5 years and can stay longer. And all other visas which are really easy are freaking expensive. Even this one is too expensive. All Thailand has been doing lately is pissing off Farangs. Too complicated visas, too expensive and too many requirements. Not to start about the Taxes which as well no one seems to have facts to go by.
Why would I want this if they are going to start taxing my income? WTF. My yearly retirement Visa was good enough. Now I Donn't even want that as I don't want to be taxed by Thailand for money I'm bringing in to spend in the local economy. I'm already traveling and spending my money in other contras while th local Thais I used to support are suffering. SFS.
Pointless video, no real updates to all others that have already covered this
Yes and misinformation, you don't need a multiple entry visa. You can simply get a re-entry permit at airport on way out.
Well explained
yeah it's click bait and just repeats what was rumoured a month ago.
Sorry, but I'm a total novice at this, but if I want to travel through thailand for several months. 6 months roughly. Do I just go for a 2 month visa and do a visa runs or is there another way? Also do I need a return ticket to enter Thailand. I'm planning to travel through the country but want to return at my own will from whichever country I'm in when I want to return. If you can give any advice I'd appreciate it. Is it even possible to get a two months visa?
What about Visas for Retired people that prefer Thailand to retire? Could you make a Video explaining the financial Requirements and other conditions?
Sorry you are trying to be optimistic and upbeat about Thailand but as usual with any information relating to visas Thailand like to treat us like a mushrooms ( keep us in the dark and feed us sh*t)
Think this visa will suit many people but not those wishing to stay here long term, they will let you stay the 180 days but anything longer will require so many hoops for you to jump through that it becomes impractical. This is not going to be a visa run visa where you can simply hop over the border and then stay for a further 6 months (if thats what they wanted they just let people do continuous visa runs but they have spent years trying to stop those practices. Any extension over the 180 days will require tax registration and proof of income
This visa would be cheaper and easier for retirees especially if dependent are included at the moment its 800,000 each for a married couple of expats,
So many questions about this visa lol
Clarity is the big word... Nothing Clear & the rules change at the drop of a hat depending on how much they think they can squeeze out of you...not really a stable future garanteed so always have an escape plan back to your country or else where...& buying condos & cars etc. Is a risk.
This is not going to happen. Local immigration offices and Visa run companies won't allow it. Sorry to inform this. I do hope visa situation becomes more friendly for falang, but this is just fairytale info by non immigration government officials. Take care everyone.
Will see. Backpackers. Lucky have. 5 baht
Do you need a Visa if you are planning a vacation to Thailand from the USA? If so, do you get it before travel or when you arrive?

Thailand are the only country in the world who treat immigration as a business to make as much money as they can. Most countries issue visas which are all unlimited re-entry included, not Thailand. This new visa might be 10,000 baht per 6 months. Anyone staying longer might be treated as a Thai tax resident and forced to pay 17% tax.
there is a lot of such countires laos,cambodia nepal and indonesia also sell their visas as business
from their site - Furthermore, you can extend the 180-day period for another 180 days, once per year for an extension fee. So in effect, you can stay in Thailand for nearly an entire year before having to leave and re-enter.
so it appears its NOT a 1 X allowance
If you take a visa run and stay more than 180 days are you then subject to taxation. See the other video from today.
And, maybe I move to malaysia. I can own land there....
They can't answer that here as everyone has a unique situation so you need to consult an accountant, for most people taxis on remittance only into Thailand and it can easily be minimised
I don’t understand the interest. In Vietnam I have always taken multiple entry visas but in Thailand I don’t need a Visa. In Thailand, you can go in and out as many times as you want. With any long term visa in Thailand, you are (will be) hit by the terrible new taxes.
When it seems too good to be true, it can be. Especially with Thailand that always adds lastminute very hard to match criteria. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Great video but I would have liked the lawyer to explain the double tax treaty whern you used 🇬🇧 retiree
My understanding is that if you have already paid tax on your pension and live in 🇬🇧 you are excempt
Because of the disgust and blueness of every country..this kind of attitude is disgusting. and not friendly...
Different subject, anything new on Thailands tax changes that are now taxing all foreign income brought into Thailand?
Appreciate the vids but after reading some of the comments I'm still unclear on what the reality is! Why on earth do they make these visas so ambiguous. Tea leaves are easier to read!
Hi, about DTV, will a 70+ retiree qualify for it ? Not interested in working . Thanks
These people will be paying tax in Thailand....so better to move to another country where you won't have to pay tax!
It makes absolutely no sense to me that you get a 5 year visa but you have to leave and enter the country after 180 days just to get another 180 days lol.
Then don't call it a 5 year Visa if you must leave the country after half a year...
This visa will not allow you to live in Thailand year-round. Otherwise, it would kill the now already unpopular elite visa completely.
Another video speculating about a Visa that hasn’t been announced by the government and yet to be even put into law. Everything in this speculation.
It sounds like you don't even need a laptop, l don't think they are going to bother asking about a business form or otherwise these things are not necessary business comes in all shapes and sizes.
bro, could you please how to do Thai bank account as we're foreigner without work permit?
Can you use coinbase crypto visa card?
This sounds good as i want to spend 6 months in Thailand and 6 months somewhere else. I thought it was 180 days and then 180 days within the five years and that's it. You basically get 360 days within five years
So adverage 72 days a year? Or 180 days for 2 years then you can't come back for another 3 years?
Will this visa support getting Thai bank account, drivers license, etc?
There is something I didn’t get yet , what if I stayed for 180 days then went out for a month or 2 .. can i back to Thailand again in the same year and get 180 days .. or i have to leave the country for 6 months to back again? Please clarify that
Now Canadians can stay in LOS when their country becomes fourth world
My initial reaction was I could replace my ‘Retirement Visa’ with a DTV but unfortunately reading up you have to be employed.
This was what I understood to, like you I don't work... also where do you need this ฿500.000 in a Thai bank? or your own country's bank .. guess we wait to see
Let me get this straight. New taxes and making weed illegal again? I hope you're ready for less tourists.
