Can golf training be used for a DTV Soft Power visa in Thailand?
“Has anyone successfully applied for DTV Soft Power using golf training (not Muay Thai)? Looking for experience from anyone who got approved with a sports training program other than Muay Thai.”
Summary so far
The original post discusses the possibility of obtaining a DTV Soft Power visa in Thailand through golf training, rather than Muay Thai. Several comments provide mixed insights, indicating that while some people have succeeded with other sports like Frisbee Golf, there is skepticism regarding golf specifically qualifying as a soft power activity. Some participants suggest checking with recognized training programs or golf clubs for more information, while others share personal experiences and opinions about the visa's requirements.

the golf training would need to be supervised by a Thai government licensed company. It must be A TRAINING PROGRAM - as only "playing golf" is not a DTV activity. . . . . . I reckon if you ask around in golf clubs, you might find an answer to your question

Greg Alexander My Thai cousin did a Grad Dip in Golf Professional Mgt. One criteria was to have so many rounds of golf at scratch scores completed during the 3 years. It was well attended.

富田祥生 . . . . not unlikely . . however, we should really see if anyone has already succeeded . . . . why don't you ask this question in the big red DTV Facebook Group?

No

OPI wouldn't ask this question just because I wanted a visa. I asked because there were examples of people getting in through scuba diving and tennis academies. So I wanted to hear about other successful applicants. I don't want people to answer based solely on their own biases. I'm only asking those who have gotten in through sports other than Muay Thai.

Golf is not a soft power activity. It won't get you a DTV. Soft Power activities have to be related to thai culture or medical treatment

so much for the correct answer, but it is your opinion 😂富田**
OP@John *********
I'm not asking for your opinion, but rather whether anyone has actually had an application approved in the sports category other than Muay Thai.

富田祥生 that’s not an opinion that’s a fact.
I suggest to wind your neck in and go and look for somewhere else to live, or just stay in Japan.
Thailand certainly doesn’t want someone with an attitude like yours.
Can I suggest Iran?
