Do I need to take soft skills courses for a DTV visa in Thailand as a retiree?
Hello everyone! I am 65 years old and from the United States. Because of my travel needs, I am not currently considering applying for a retirement visa. However, I can provide proof of over 500,000 Thai Baht in savings, and I receive approximately 2200 USD in retirement income each month. If I apply for a DTV visa based on my qualifications, do I need to take soft skills courses in conjunction with it?

Assume you mean more than 2200 THB but you income is irrelevant. if you are retired and not able to demonstrate you can work remotely, you will need to go the soft power route
