Details of The (DTV) Destination Thailand Visa - How to qualify for 5yrs stay

[spambot]

A recent interview with the deputy director general for Consular Affairs General Ninnad on Youtube 2 days ago (RW4U Channel) outlined the requirement to obtain a DTV

 

To qualify as a Digital Nomad requires a suitable submission of "Certificate of employment or any professional portfolio of your work (interviewer asks) so if they have a a portfolio of clients and work they can show this (General Ninnad) yes professional ones of course" - He stated that it is not necessarily to have contracts to support the portfolio "but it would help" - When granted a 5year multiple entry DTV it is unlimited and you can come and go as many times as you wish within the 5 years validity - Either done by Extension at immigration or simply leave the country every 180 days and return to Thailand for a further 180 days.

 

While I can not yet see this on the London Embassy site detailing the DTV (but it may be an option once entering the e-Visa application process).

 

While the devil will be in the details and also the interpretation from each Embassy - In principle there might be little stopping long stay expats simply developing a professional portfolio and applying on the basis of getting together a portfolio of digital content -  Irrespective if they actually do any further digital work while they are in Thailand.

 

It will be interesting to see how Digital Normads are actually judged for their valid credentials to qualify.
