Working Holiday Visa in Thailand

The Verdict: Not eligible

Thailand's Working Holiday Scheme is only open to Australians and New Zealanders, so it is closed to you. Look at our digital nomad quiz if you earn from abroad, or skilled migration if you want a Thai job.

We found no working holiday arrangement with any other country.

The Destination Thailand Visa (our digital nomad quiz) has no age limit and no qualification test. It gives five years of multiple entry, up to 180 days per entry and extendable once per entry, on THB 500,000 in the bank. Its Soft Power stream covers people coming to train, such as Muay Thai or Thai cooking. Since 31 August 2026 you must apply at the Thai mission for your own country of nationality or residence.

A Thai employer's work permit (our skilled migration quiz) has no age limit either, and unlike a working holiday it can lead to permanent residence after three years. The test sits mostly on the employer, which needs THB 2 million of paid-up capital and four Thai staff per foreign worker.
