On May 29th, the Thai government announced the launch of a new visa category for digital nomads and freelancers. The visa reportedly allows them to work in the country for almost a year, but details regarding tax and income requirements are not yet known. In recent years, the country has become a hotspot for digital nomads, attracting cryptocurrency traders and developers.
According to reports, the Thai government has introduced a new Thailand Destination Visa (DTV) for foreigners who want a working holiday. The DTV costs $270 (10,000 baht) and has a valid period of five years. The DTV's stay is 180 days, which can be extended for another 180 days if the same fee is paid, and the holder can work in Thailand for nearly 12 months at a time. The visa stipulates that for those working remotely in Thailand, a minimum of about $13,650 (500,000 baht) is required as a support guarantee for spouse and children.
