Visas for a longer wellness stay in Thailand
Thirty days goes fast. If you want to train, study or recover in Thailand for longer, the right visa makes it simple.
The main routes
Many visitors can enter visa-free or on a tourist visa for a short stay. For longer wellness stays, people look at the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV), which can cover approved courses such as Muay Thai and Thai massage, at visas for medical treatment, and at long-stay options such as the LTR visa for those who qualify.
Rules, fees and accepted documents change, so always confirm with the Royal Thai Embassy in your country or Thailand’s official e-visa site before you apply.
