Can I apply for a DTV visa while stating I am unemployed if I have passive income?

Hello, I plan to apply for DTV visa under power soft muay thai category, already have gym documents and +500k thb in my Thai bank. I recieve passive income from my savings and make some extra with affiliate maketing but nothing significant.

Is it okay if I say I’m Unemployed in the application? It might give the impression I make not income which is not true. Could this make visa denial more likely? Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for a DTV visa under the Soft Power Muay Thai category and has the necessary gym documents and funds but is uncertain about stating they are unemployed on the application. They receive passive income and participate in affiliate marketing, leading to concerns about how their employment status may impact the visa approval process. Community feedback suggests that indicating 'unemployed' may be appropriate, as it aligns with the visa type's stipulations regarding income.

Carefully choose the Thai Embassy or Consulate where you are going to apply for the DTV visa.

Anonymous participant Read the posts... what is your purpose for the DTV visa? And where will you be living in Thailand, if you know the area.

If you apply under Soft Power Muay Thai you shouldn’t be making any money anyways! I applied for the same Visa in Jakarta and I put unemployed. Got approved 2 days ago.

Yes if you apply with muay thai! If you want to put you work & have an income than you should apply for the digital nomad one.

does not seem a good combo to get long term visa in Thailand, that’s why I’m asking for advice on this..

Anonymous participant It is! I got my visa like this and I’m not the only one. I read many reports in this group using the search bar that if you apply soft power muay thai that you put unemployed!
