Meet Jason (and Steffi)

Your Thailand Relocation Experts. We made the expensive mistakes—so you don’t have to.

When Jason moved from the U.S. to chase the digital nomad dream, he thought he was ready. He wasn’t.

Visa stress, overpriced housing with Wifi issues, no health insurance and a hospital bill that nearly wiped his savings. Now here on the DTV visa, all that chaos is behind him.

This guide exists to help you skip potential disaster and move with confidence.

It’s co-written by Steffi, a British teacher based in Bangkok and founder of Beach Bum Adventure. With 10 years of expat experience and 300,000+ readers helped, she’s been through a lot of Thailand expat experience like housing issues and adapting to a new culture.

Together, we created the guide we wish we had.

Which Visa Should Digital Nomads Use in Thailand?

When Thailand introduced the Digital Nomad Visa in 2024, we were among the first to go through the process.

Work online or freelance? → Get the DTV Visa

It’s the most reliable option for remote workers with steady income, no border runs, no grey areas.

Bottom line: If your income comes from outside Thailand, the DTV Visa is your best legal path.
