TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion revolves around whether Thailand provides a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) specifically for studying the Thai language. Some users mention that while there are courses available categorized as 'Cultural Activities', the DTV may not be widely accepted for language study by embassies. Additionally, an Education Visa (ED) is suggested as a viable option for longer-term language learning.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.

There are reports that some embassies have accepted it, but most will not because it's not on the list of soft power activities originally released by the MFA.

Anonymous participant It's impossible that you actually searched on Google Gemini and GPT. Because that is literally what the DTV was created for to learn Thai culture and the Thai language is the foundation of the culture.

Not full time language study... it comes under the Education Visa.
