Has anyone here gotten a Soft Power / Muay Thai DTV first, then later started working remotely for a foreign employer or foreign clients?

Hi!  Has anyone here gotten a Soft Power / Muay Thai DTV first, then later started working remotely for a foreign employer or foreign clients?

If yes, did you stay on the same DTV, and have you had any issues with re-entry, extensions, immigration, or work authorization?

When I applied though soft power MT, they still wanted all my payslips and tax info. I didn’t need to show a portfolio or anything.

Remote working on soft power seems ok.

However for the sake of keeping things simple for immigration I would keep doing the activity.

No problem all DTV holders are allowed to work remotely.

Soft Power / Muay Thai DTV is activity-tied; remote income for foreign clients is a separate compliance question. Treat them as two tracks: keep the Soft Power activity real and documented, and dont assume training permission automatically covers work authorization or tax. Before relying on that combo long-term, verify with immigration or a lawyer what your embassy and in-country renewals actually allow — gray areas get expensive at extension time.
