It will be much simpler for you to just go the soft power route through a muay thai course or similar.
If you want to state your trading as income, you will have a lot of headaches when applying

I'm a trader, been for 12 years, but I also own an actual business, and hire folks, so that helps), but if all you have is day trading, and not hired via a firm, it won't be as simple with just a broker account as an independent trader, but not impossible if you have a significant enough verifiable track record and liquid funds to satisfy their regs. You need to connect with an agency that can supply the job part of you have the money part secured.

Proof of employment, income and paying taxes

Why not just buy Thai Privilege and avoid all the headaches. Definitely the easy pathway to go unless you are not very good at Forex trading.

Self directed traders have got DTVS. You can find their posts on the main DTV FB group.

You are 22 and trading the hardest thing alive. I wouldn't even touch forex if my life depends on it. You're 22, get a corporate job and grind through the years.
Ant *******
Us Nek why would anyone ever advise someone to get a corporate job and grind through the years. Best thing k I ever did was leaving corporate work. I worn 10-15 hours a week now and earn double what I ever did. Corporate job is not for everyone
Charming*********
Us Nek I’m pretty sure Micah didn’t come here for life advice from some grumpy boomer who wants others to waste their lives in a boring job, just like he did.
Brenton ******
CharmingGuava1919 who says he is a grump boomer?
Steve *******
CharmingGuava1919 Exactly, US Nek is a complete tw*t, he's always spouting bullsh*t on Thailand related groups. The guy's a complete joke!
