ORIGINAL POSTER
Hi Everyone, I'm in Austin Texas, USA and have already have flight booked from DFW to CNX on January 11th, 2026. I can cleanly show bank statements, a portfolio of clients and sales of IP assets.

Can you recommend a school or agent who can help me get a 5-year DTV Soft Power Visa in Chiang Mai?

I sent a formal inquiry letter to New Stamford Language School and followed up through Facebook, WhatsApp and LinkedIn but never heard back.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user from Austin, Texas seeks recommendations for a school or agent to help obtain a 5-year DTV Soft Power Visa in Chiang Mai. Despite efforts to contact New Stamford Language School, they received no response. Comments suggest that language schools may not be suitable for DTV applications and that the user might need to consider the workation route if planning to work remotely from Thailand.

If you plan to work remotely from Thailand then you need to apply using the workation route. Applying under the soft power route does not provide permission to work

Language schools are not usually covered by DTV. Also, not sure you will have enough time to process by Jan 11th
