Looking to get digital nomad dtv. However i dont do any sort of work, my income has been stable through property i rent out in Australia and İ do have 500,000 baht in my bank account. Would it be possible to get the digital nomad dtv or should i look into soft power dtv? 

İf i go for the soft power dtv it will be through muay thai training. İ also want to know if i can change gyms  throughout the visa if needed or am i locked into the one gym i applied to the visa with (the reason id most likely need to change gym is due to moving to another city within Thailand)

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is considering applying for a digital nomad DTV visa but is unsure whether to pursue it given that their income comes solely from property rental in Australia rather than traditional employment. They also inquire about the soft power DTV visa related to Muay Thai, expressing a desire to know if they can change gyms while on the visa and if the 500,000 baht requirement needs to be in the bank account for a specific duration before application. Comments suggest that opting for the soft power DTV is simpler due to less documentation and provide reassurance that changing gyms is acceptable.

We also earn from our real-estate. We found it easier to just go soft power. Less paperwork.

If you billed the rent income through a company and then paid yourself from said company you could do it, but you'd need to have proof of income from your company for a certain time so that'll hold you back if you convert now just for this. Overall hassle I imagine would be much easier to just apply for soft power.

Go soft power and you can still work remotely. You can change gyms, you can attend or not attend classes, it doesn’t matter to the validity of your DTV once issued.

I also make money from property income, but saw a post regarding New York office rejecting landlord as a proper business. So I went the muay thai soft power route.

Keep it simple apply soft power. A DTV is a DTV after you get it.
