TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation highlights concerns regarding the likelihood of rejection for DTV (Digital Nomad) visa applicants in Thailand, especially for soft power activities. While having the necessary funds and a letter from a business may help, experiences shared by others indicate that many applicants do face rejections. Factors influencing acceptance include the type of course, the embassy's requirements, and submission of adequate documentation, with reports of embassies becoming increasingly strict.

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
