Hey, do you know how long you need to have a business to apply for a nomad DTV visa? And is nomad DTV or soft power better?

Answer summary

To apply for a nomad DTV visa in Thailand, the length of time a business needs to be established can vary, as approvals are specific to the embassy. It is also suggested that a workcation visa might be a better option if you meet the qualifications.

New businesses are approved for the DTV but their approval is embassy specific. Workcation is better if you qualify.
