How can I obtain a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) for Thailand and what are the entry conditions?
Hello, my name is Matthew from Czech Republic.
I have had 500,000 baht or more in my account now for over three months. I own a company and can work remotely, but our company is newly established and we have only been reporting income for a month, so it is probably risky to apply for a workcation visa. So I have two questions: can anyone recommend a good agency/agent who could help me safely obtain a DTV through soft power, someone reliable at an affordable price, perhaps even with a money-back guarantee if the DTV is not granted? DTV orkcation or soft power is stll DTV right?
My second question is, how long after applying for/receiving the DTV do I have to enter Thailand? The thing is, I would like to apply for a DTV in February/March because I would like to use some of my money for my business and I will probably end up with less than 500,000 THB in my account. However, before I arrange everything necessary for the move, I want to move to Thailand and fly there around June/July.
Can anyone please advise me? I would be very grateful.

They dont really care how old the company is, as long you can show the documentation that its legit like registration papers.
Good application and good documentation is key.

Reporting income doesn’t matter - it’s how long you can show you’ve been receiving and depositing. Don’t apply as the business owner and just say you work remotely for company A and have a letter from company A saying you can work from Thailand.

In that case, the soft power route is the way to go. Apply in February before you reinvest your funds, then go in April or May for a few days to activate the visa. You can go back home after and sort things out and make the final move to Thailand anytime within 5 years :-)

I haven't received any income from the company yet because it's new. I'll receive my first income from the company in February. Is it still good idea to apply like you say?Robert *******
The DTV is a multiple entry visa and valid for 5 years, as long as you enter Thailand BEFORE the validity date you get 180 days of stay.
5 years valid NOT 90 days as mentioned, be careful with those agencies.
What you like to do?
Workcation means you are allowed to work on-line and visit in your free time a gym or cooking school or learn Thai language.
Soft power means you get a visa to be able to learn or medical reasons, NOT to work on-line
You do not need a special visa to visit a doctor, everybody in Thailand can visit hospitals for medical care.

Are you saying that if I obtain a DTV for soft power, I cannot work remotely for my company from Thailand?

Your visa is active the day it is approved, and should be used to enter the country within 90 days.
