TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around whether individuals applying for the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) through soft power need to engage in activities like practicing Muay Thai for five years. Currently, applicants do not need to demonstrate such activities for the initial application, but ongoing participation may be required for extensions in the future.

Up to now you don't have to show anything on re entries. The people who will have problems are those who try to live in Thailand for the full 5 years without spending significant time away. But there are ways around that.

for the application not. for extension you need ongoing activity. i bet down the line you will have to proof some ongoing activity sometimes. they could start checks on entry. same as they did in the past with ED or volunteer visa… to believe that there will be no check for 5 years is pretty crazy and doubtful
