A new visa scheme aimed at Thailand's long-stay visitors is set to be introduced following the approval of a proposal from the country's Ministry of Tourism and Sports.

Under the STV scheme, long-staying visitors can stay in the country for 90 days, which can be extended twice, each for a further 90 days. The visa will cost 2,000 Baht per 90-day extension. 

The special visa scheme is expected to become effective after the official announcement and will be available until 30 September, 2021.

The STV will be granted to long-staying visitors who comply with Thailand’s COVID-19 control and preventive measures. They will be required to undergo a 14-day alternative local state quarantine (ALSQ) upon their arrival.

They must also have proof of their long-term residence in Thailand, such as hotel reservation, a rental contract, or evidence of ownership of a condominium.
