Visa, Banking, and Company Services for Chiang Mai Nomads
Chiang Mai has been a digital nomad hub since before the term existed. But a sustainable long-term base requires more than a tourist visa. We help remote workers get legal residency, proper banking, and a business entity that works from Thailand.
Who this is for
- Remote workers planning a long stay in Chiang Mai or anywhere in Thailand
- Nomads currently on repeated tourist visa runs who want a legal solution
- Entrepreneurs based in Thailand who need a company and international banking
- Those exploring the Thailand LTR Visa as a long-term residence option
Chiang Mai pioneered the digital nomad lifestyle and remains one of the world's top nomad cities. Low cost of living, excellent coworking infrastructure, warm climate, and a large expat community make it a perennial favourite. We help you navigate Thai visas, banking, and company setup.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best visa for a long stay in Thailand?
The Thailand LTR Visa (Long-Term Resident) is the most robust solution for remote workers, offering 10 years of renewable residence with significant tax benefits. For those who do not qualify (income below $80,000 USD/year), the Thailand Elite Visa (paid membership, 5-20 years) or Thailand SMART Visa are alternatives. We assess the best option for your income and situation.
Do I pay tax in Thailand as a digital nomad?
Thailand taxes individuals who spend 180 or more days in Thailand per year on income remitted to Thailand in the same tax year. The LTR Visa provides a specific exemption from Thai personal income tax on foreign-sourced income for eligible holders. We do not provide tax advice; consult a Thai tax specialist.
Is Chiang Mai better than Bangkok for nomads?
Chiang Mai offers a lower cost of living, more relaxed pace, excellent coworking options, and a strong nomad community. Bangkok is better for business meetings, international connections, and higher-end amenities. Many Thailand-based nomads split time between both cities. Both are well served by the services we offer.
Can I open a Thai bank account as a foreigner?
Opening a Thai bank account as a foreigner can be challenging on a tourist visa. The LTR Visa and Thai Elite Visa holders have an easier time with Thai bank account applications. We assist with international digital banking options that work from Thailand regardless of visa status.
