Thailand offers a variety of visa options, catering to different purposes of stay. Here's a breakdown of some of the most common types:

* Tourist Visa:

* This is for those visiting Thailand for leisure.

* The duration of stay varies depending on your nationality.

* There are tourist visas that can be obtained from Thai embassies/consulates, and also "visa on arrival" for eligible nationalities.

* Starting July 15, 2024, U.S. citizens are entitled to receive a 60-day visa upon entry to the Kingdom of Thailand for the purpose of tourism, business engagements, and urgent or ad-hoc work. This visa category can be extended for another period not exceeding 30 days.

* Visa on Arrival:

* Available to citizens of certain countries.

* Allows a short stay for tourism purposes.

* The length of stay is typically limited.

* Non-Immigrant Visas:

* These are for those who intend to stay in Thailand for longer periods for specific purposes. This category includes:

* Business Visa: For those conducting business or working in Thailand.

* Education Visa: For students enrolled in educational institutions in Thailand.

* Marriage Visa: For those married to a Thai national.

* Retirement Visa: For retirees meeting specific financial requirements.

* SMART Visa: For highly skilled professionals, investors, executives, and startups in targeted industries.

* Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa:

* This visa is designed to attract high-potential foreigners to live and invest in Thailand.

* Thai Elite Visa:

* This is a long-term visa program that offers various privileges to its members.

* Destination Thailand Visa (DTV):

* Starting July 15, 2024, a new Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) is available for foreign remote workers, digital nomads, and freelancers. This visa category allows U.S citizens to stay in Thailand for up to 180 days per visit, with a total validity of five years.

It's important to note:

* Visa requirements and regulations can change, so it's always best to check with the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate in your home country for the most up-to-date information.

* Websites like those of the Thai Embassy and reputable legal firms specializing in Thai immigration law (like Siam Legal) are valuable resources.

I hope this helps.

@John ******
that means soft power DTV doesn't need to exist. If you need to have a job then everyone can do hard DTV.

Makes no sense.
Christopher *********
Anonymous participant 254 makes the soft power dtv visa irrelevant than.
Christopher *********
On soft power they normally don't ask that question your savings is how you would sustain yourself weird
Christopher *********
Yes you should do the DTV visa soft power.
Christopher *********
Everytime you enter Thailand you get 180 days.

It's unlimited for 5 years
