Can attending a music festival qualify me for a Thailand DTV visa?
Hey guys! If I attend a music festival will I be approved for DTV? it just doesn't make sense to me since this is just a fun event and it seems too good to be true. Any advises?
Summary so far
The user is inquiring whether attending a music festival would qualify them for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) in Thailand, expressing doubt about the validity of this reason. Comments from the community suggest that while some countries issue long-term tourist visas for brief trips, there is skepticism within the expat community regarding the likelihood of obtaining a DTV solely for attending a festival, despite it being listed as an approved reason by Thai authorities.

10 year tourist visa? You sure? If that's the case then I would want to have this visa. Any catch to this?

totally true. I've had it. 10 years and up to 6 month stay upon each entry. But it doesn't allow to work remotely, just tourism and business meetings. The DTV allows to work remotely in Thailand.Garrett ***********

I mean, if you didn't believe me it would take you all of 30 seconds to just look on the US embassy's website under visas...

mhm but the 10 year tourist visa is mainly for investors right ? I guess you have to have lots of money

I've never actually seen anyone get a DTV for this despite this reason being listed on the infographic the MFA published as an approved "soft power" qualification.
