Frequently asked questions
Which visa is best for living in Thailand long term?
It depends on why you are there. Remote workers usually choose the DTV, people aged 50 or over the retirement visa, people married to a Thai the marriage visa, and employees of Thai companies the Non-B with a work permit.
Can I work in Thailand on a tourist visa or visa exemption?
No. Working for a Thai company or Thai clients always needs a work permit. Remote work for foreign clients is allowed on the DTV.
What is the easiest long-stay visa?
For many people it is the DTV, which needs 500,000 THB in savings and a reason such as remote work. The Thailand Privilege visa is simpler still, with no income checks, but costs from about 650,000 THB.
