Hanoi - Soft power

When submitting my application under soft power in my financial cover letter i just stated that im currently completing an online english course which will help me support myself a little bit while training, as ive seen loads of people say on here they ask how you will support yourself. Will this be a problem? Can you work online while under soft power?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the soft power visa application process in Thailand and the conditions regarding work eligibility. Users emphasized that while the visa is primarily for pursuing training or courses, it does not officially permit work, especially with Thai clients. Financial backing should demonstrate means of support, such as savings or passive income, in the application.

Your visa will be issued for soft power, not for work. It doesn't entitle you to work remotely so be careful how you answer this

When they ask how will you support yourself they want to know financially. Besides the 500K you would expect to show some passive income or savings etc.
