Is it harder to get Thai visas from the Hong Kong embassy compared to others, and does paying for soft power classes improve chances for DTV?

Thai Visa Visa Application Process DTV Visa Hong Kong Embassy Macau Remote Work Soft Power Classes

Sep 8, 2025

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I have a couple of questions about DTV. Any advice would be appreciated.

1. I see comments from this group saying that it is harder to get visas approved at the Hong Kong embassy comparing to the others. I wonder if that's the case only for foreigners in Hong Kong or is that for everyone. I am from Macau btw. I don't really want to travel if I dont need to.

2. I work remotely. Would it improve my chances for DTV if I pay for one of those soft power classes?

thanks
