Answer summary
A user inquires about obtaining a DTV visa for working as a freelancer personal trainer and yoga teacher in Thailand. Several commenters highlight that the DTV visa is not designed for in-person work in Thailand, as employment in the country is prohibited on this visa type. However, there are discussions around the possibility of doing online coaching while earning money from international clients. Some recommend seeking advice from the Thai embassy regarding specific visa options and suggest exploring alternative approaches, such as a 'soft power' DTV for learning purposes.

Sure. If you can make money from submitting online programs and tutorials. Otherwise only fans is another good option...

You could apply for ‘soft power’ DTV and say, that you want to learn yoga in Thailand or cooking or whatever
But working here will get you in troubles (unless you wish to teach English, but that’s a completely different visa)

Employment in Thailand is strictly prohibited.

Ask Thai embassy

If you are doing online coaching and earning money from outside Thailand rather than working in person and earning baht then I believe that would be OK.

Definitely not 🚫

The only non Thai I know running a fitness business runs it totally online with clientele around the world. He's based in Phuket and trains and does personal coaching for high net worths remotely. Does not train on the ground.

Not what the DTV was designed for.

Nope

You do personal training and teach yoga online? You would need to show proof of that you do so and also proof that you have permission from your clients to work online from Thailand.

@Tom ******
then the DTV is of no use to you. You need a non-b visa and a work permit to work inside Thailand which you can only get via a company

@Tom ******
that is not allowed since the DTV prohibits you to work with Thai clients in Thailand or for Thai companies. You will have to prove that you have clients outside Thailand, maybe have a portfolio and a website offering your services as an online personal trainer, I'm thinking something like that could work.Tom *******
