Not sure you need a DTV? Since 15 September 2026, British, Irish and US passport holders, among others, can visit Thailand without a visa for up to 30 days for tourism. Visa exemption rules.
Health cover for a long stay
AffiliateNone of the DTV pages we read asks for health insurance (they ask for a passport, a photo, proof of residence, bank statements, a criminal record certificate and proof of the purpose of your stay). A DTV allows stays of up to 180 days per entry. If you want health cover for a long stay, compare policies before you travel.
