TLDR : Answer Summary

Recent discussions among expats highlight confusion and concern regarding the new Digital Thailand Visa (DTV) and the requirements for its extension. Some rumors suggest that applicants may need to provide ongoing proof of eligibility, such as documentation of continuous medical treatment or participation in cultural classes, to extend their visa after the initial period. However, others assert that as long as individuals engage in border runs or fly in and out every 180 days, they may circumvent additional proof for extensions. The conversation also emphasizes the perceived leniency of the DTV compared to traditional visas, and various opinions suggest that the Thai government is trying to attract foreign residents and tourists to stimulate the economy. Many expats express frustration over the lack of clear and factual information regarding the visa process, calling for reliable resources.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

We have set a minimum booking of 3 month class at Muay thai gym, otherwise normal turistvisa is 60 plus 30, so why grant this DTV for a 2 week class???????

@Johannes ******

you realize you're talking about a visa that has only been out since July 15th right (100days today 😉 ) 😕

Seeing as most offices only allow you to apply for an extension when you have 30 days or less left on your current entry stamp that means not ONE SINGLE PERSON who has a DTV has gone for an extension yet. 🙁

NO ONE knows what the actual requirements will be, or really even what the cost will be (some say normal 1900baht, some say 10K)

It's gonna be another 2 months almost before the first batch of DTV'er's would even be allowed to apply for an extension for 180 days

How about we wait it out and see what's what once someone actually does successfully apply for an extension at an immigration office where they're staying? 😉

Thailand did the "Digital Nomad" visa kind of last but they did the Best and easiest kicking everyone out of the park. I tried Croatian, Spanish, Malaysian, Japanese, Mexico, Columbian plus 20 others and everyone bite the dust with DTV. If people find this hard, Try Croatian Visa first to start in Europe, minimum wait time six months and tons of paper work, Spanish even harder.

There are 19 countries in Europe offering "Digital Nomad visa " , all "Developed Countries" and show me one country which is this easier like Thailand.

Bangkok Post is western outlet, they are backed by jealous expats who are unnecessary creating troubles for DTV visa as they are on expensive visa and cannot digest that DTV is far more simpler, being coming to Thailand for over 2.5 decades working from home back in the day when it was not even called "Work from Home" or "Digital Nomad" just freelancing and NEVER EVER I saw a Single THAI who cared for what Visa I was on but plenty of "foreigners" interested in what visa I was on. Even Thai immigration have happy go lucky attitude unless one created trouble here but the western news outlet seems to be creating trouble for DTV holders out of nothing, they are forcing immigration to create more strict rules for DTV, let it slide, no one would care.

This is a global move to relax tourism, Thailand are being smart, I don't agree with the soft side, but a alot of other countries are attracting digital nomads or freelancers who can prove income. Spain are at the forefront in the EU so why not. Yes it's being abused, but it was before. That's not the point, the visa is a positive and good move, it's just a little too relaxed. Some things need to tighten, but that's across the board tbh.

As long as you go on holiday occasionally, you will get a 6-month entry stamp each time upon your return so no need for extensions - I can't imagine many expats never go away, except perhaps elderly retirees who would be better off with a retirement visa.

Why is it so hard to believe that the floodgates have been opened? They need the people! Bangkok was the most visited city on the planet pre-covid. I guess they are not giving up this position easily?! Yes, they are stamping 5 year visas to anyone with 500k in the bank who has some interest in Thailand. This is their plan! This increases tourism numbers, the average length of stay, spending, and, once Thailand is number one again, prestige as well! I wish every country did the same. Hopefully this will shake up the competition in the region. Looking at you Malaya!

They're making it easy because there are so many unoccupied condo units nationwide. It's a big problem. The DTV is just a smokescreen to get people into those units. That's why the DTV barrier to entry is low. The Thai government do not care what your reason is, although they have to at least make it look half legitimate.

The full quote and link to the article - no real change and as always been said - final decision is up to the Immigration Officer - no change to now.

"May be two weeks, one month, it's up to the applicant." And then if you wish to extend the 189 days at immigration, you need to provide another certificate or acceptance letter or other confirmation.

Pressed on the matter, he said such documentation is required when applying for the visa and when extending the visa inside Thailand, but usually not when actually entering the country -- although, of course "like in every other country, the final decision depends on the discretion of the immigration officer."

There has been speculation that would be the case but many poured scorn on the idea. The initial DTV is a MFA Visa - extensions and re-entry are down to the Royal Thai Immigration Police - two very different entities.

But it runs out at the beginning of 2026 so I am already on the lookout for something else. In the meantime, I have married a Thai, so I could get a visa based on marriage. But it's good to find out about every option. That's why I'm in this group.

But a lot of others here just want the visa because they want to stay in Thailand without valid reason to get one of the existing visa, and try to find a way to qualify for DTV, because it is very easy at the moment.

That makes the chances are high those people will take jobs from Thai.
