The Destination Thailand Visa is the remote-worker route everyone's talking about — 5 years, multiple entry. The catch is the savings requirement. Check yours.

💡 How the stays work: 180 days per entry, and you can extend once a year for another 180 days (1,900 THB at Bangkok immigration) — or just hop out and back in. Remote work is for foreign employers/clients only; no Thai clients.
Who qualifies
Age 20+, remote workers/freelancers, or those here for "soft power" activities (Muay Thai, Thai cooking, medical treatment, courses). Spouses and under-20 children can join as dependents — no limit on how many.
