TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around whether forex traders can apply for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand. Responses vary, with some asserting that conventional traders may not qualify due to embassy requirements for stable income from employment. Others suggest that potential applicants, especially those trading under an LLC, might provide documentation that supports their remote work status to facilitate approval. Additionally, alternatives like engaging in soft power activities (e.g., cooking, muay thai) for easier visa acquisition are recommended.

It’s possible but not easy. If you’re trading under an LLC, you might be able to submit a letter of employment—even from yourself—stating that you’re authorized to work remotely. That can make it easier for your application to be approved. However, using the soft power option for six months might be the simpler route to start with.

When you don’t know the basics then start by looking at the Embassy website and search the group.

those question’s has been answered countless times allready.

When you don’t want to be a contributing member of the group community, but only anonymous, why should anybody waste time to help such leeches of the group.
