have a question about the DTV I am Medically retired but not 50. I have more then the required monthly income and I have the required amount in the bank am I able to apply for the DTV. Also does any one know a trusted agency.

Answer summary

The Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand is primarily available for those who are either remote workers or involved in soft power activities such as cultural learning, cooking, or medical treatments. Being medically retired does not directly qualify you; however, you may be able to apply through the medical treatment route if you can demonstrate a viable treatment plan. Having the necessary income and funds is beneficial, but ensure to check with the embassy for specific requirements and possible alternative visa options.

You have to be remote working for self or others and or take soft power education courses like culture language or cooking ... martial arts or medical treatments.

DTV is just simply a glorified educational visa that last 5 years unlimited entry 180 days stay

So you are looking at applying for the DTV going the "Medical Soft Power" route? There are a few that have qualified using "Dental", Ongoing conditions such as arthritis, diabetes etc. Need to find a Dr, Hospital/Clinic to make appointments with, get a treatment plan and apply. Some who applied this way were given a METV instead so research the embassy where you will be applying to and what their requirements are.

You can apply for the DTV using soft power.

Being retired is not a qualification for DTV. You either need to be a remote worker or you need to be doing a soft power activity (Muay Thai, Thai cooking school, medical treatments)
