TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa, aimed at digital nomads, can be applied for by Indians from India while working as freelancers. It is not mandatory to enroll in a soft power course (like cooking) to apply. Applicants can apply for the visa under the remote work category directly from their home country.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

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