TLDR : Answer Summary
The likelihood of rejection for soft power applicants seeking a DTV visa in Thailand appears to be significant. Several commenters have noted that the approval is highly dependent on factors like the course of study, the embassy handling the application, and the overall documentation provided. Some individuals have shared their experiences of rejection, emphasizing that embassies have become stricter regarding these applications, often redirecting applicants to consider an ED visa instead.

Use the search button in this group for other people's experience. Most posts share their success stories of which soft power activity and embassy. Some people have also shared their rejection experience too. From what I've been reading, soft power is not as easy as it used to be to get. Embassies are getting more strict and require more documentations

Depends on the embassy, the course and the course organiser (and often your passport). Need more details to provide any form of help

You don't say what you will be studying but not many get a DTV for that, they get told to apply for an ED visa
