Which visa to choose for Thailand in 2026?

Thailand now offers a wide range of visas suited to every traveler or expat profile. For a tourist stay of less than 60 days, many nationals benefit from visa exemption; you just need to complete the TDAC before departure.

Remote workers and freelancers turn to the DTV (Destination Thailand Visa), valid for 5 years. Retirees aged 50 or over can choose between the OA visa (1 year) and the OX visa (10 years), subject to financial conditions. To work on site, a Non-Immigrant B visa with a work permit is essential.

Each visa type involves specific procedures: documents to gather, financial conditions to meet, and forms to submit. We handle the complex Thai procedures for youβ€”saving you time and avoiding application errors. Check our practical guides or request personalized assistance.

Don't forget the TDAC!

The Digital Arrival Card is mandatory to enter Thailand, regardless of your visa.
