WHAT IS THE DESTINATION THAILAND VISA (DTV)?

There are 3 categories of DTV visa as follows: A. Workcation (Digital Nomads, Freelancers, Remote Workers), B. Thai Soft Power Related Activities, and C. Spouses and Children Under 20 of DTV Visa Holders. Whether you’re a digital nomad, freelancer, retiree, or simply looking for a flexible way to experience Thailand, the DTV offers a convenient and cost-effective solution.

WHAT IS THE EDUCATION VISA (ED)?
What is the purpose of the Education Visa (ED) in Thailand? The Education Visa (ED) allows foreigners to stay in Thailand for up to 1 year while studying at accredited institutions. Each stay is valid for 90 days, requiring a 90-day extension at immigration with proof of continued enrollment and attendance. Popular among language learners, this visa enables students to immerse themselves in Thai culture while studying at recognized language schools, universities, or vocational centers.
The ED visa requires regular class attendance and maintaining valid student status.
At Mind Your Language Thailand, our language programs qualify for ED visa sponsorship, with experienced instructors helping students develop practical language skills for daily life while meeting all visa requirements.
WHICH VISA IS RIGHT FOR YOU? DTV OR ED?
The DTV visa offers superior long-term flexibility for digital professionals, with a 5-year duration and 180-day renewal intervals, compared to the ED visa’s 1-year duration and 90-day renewals.
The ED visa is better suited for those committed to studying Thai language or other subjects through regular classes.
YOUR CHOICE DEPENDS ON YOUR GOAL!
1. Choose the DTV visa if your primary goal is both long-term residency and having time to travel within Thailand. If your primary goal is long-term residency in Thailand, coupled with the freedom to explore at your leisure, the DTV visa is the clear choice. Enjoy the convenience of multiple entries and the option to extend your stay every 6 months at immigration. This visa offers unparalleled flexibility for those who wish to immerse themselves in Thai culture while maintaining the freedom to travel.
2. Choose the ED visa if your primary goal is studying and immersing yourself in Thai language and culture. The ED visa is tailored for those solely focused on academic pursuits, requiring extensions every 90 days. While ideal for dedicated language and culture immersion, it offers less flexibility for travel and extended residency compared to the DTV visa.
At Mind Your Language Thailand, we offer programs to support both visa options. We are the only school on the island offering a well-established, 2-Week Intensive Thai Course, Established Since 2016.
