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?

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

As long as you legitimately work remotely that is the best way to apply.
