ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I have a question about DTV Soft Power. As a musician who has already done it for participation in a festival or concert, I can't find any information on this subject. Thank you very much.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV Soft Power visa does not allow individuals to work in Thailand as musicians. It is primarily aimed at those who wish to enroll in training or educational programs. Participants can work online for overseas companies, but working locally on a DTV visa is not permitted.

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

Soft power is where you pay to study something, not the other way around

You cannot work in Thailand on DTV. You can do work for overseas companies online (digital nomad) or soft power enrolled in some sort of training. Do you want to learn Thai instrument ?
