Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone who has actually been approved for a DTV can help me clear something up.

I’m looking at applying for the DTV through either the Muay Thai or Medical Treatment route.

My main question is this:

If my DTV is approved and I later complete my Muay Thai programme or finish my medical treatment, does my DTV remain valid for the rest of the 5-year period as long as I continue following the normal DTV entry and stay rules?

Or do you need to continue the Muay Thai programme or medical treatment to keep the visa valid?

I’d especially love to hear from anyone who has been approved through either of these routes and can share their real experience.

Thanks in advance! 🙏
Answer summary
The DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) remains valid for the full 5-year period once approved, regardless of whether you complete the Muay Thai program or medical treatment, as long as you adhere to the normal entry and stay rules. Several users confirmed that the visa does not become invalid simply due to the conclusion of these programs.

If you have an actual repeating medical need, that is the best category at the moment to apply under. You might be questioned on occasion, but you will be let in, as long as the visa is valid. Most of the questioning is being done acquiring data to adjust future requirements. Anyone with the visa is grandfathered in to any changes, until it expires. That's just how Thailand operates.
