Is professional athlete training in Thailand considered 'foreign talent' for application purposes?

The inquiry addresses whether a professional athlete training in Thailand qualifies as 'foreign talent' for visa purposes, particularly for the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa). Responses indicate that sport training is categorized under 'soft power' but is not recognized as a foreign talent category in the current DTV framework. It is emphasized that the athlete must enroll in an approved training facility and submit relevant documents if their training is specifically in muay thai, as general training in other sports may not fulfill the requirements needed for the visa application. Additionally, engaging in local sport training is considered a domestic job, necessitating a work permit.
