ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The terms DTV and soft DTV refer to the same visa type but highlight different paths for qualification. DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) is available for remote workers or those engaging in soft power activities in Thailand. While both allow for residence in Thailand, applicants must provide different documentation: remote workers must prove employment, while soft power participants must show involvement in an approved program. Ultimately, the choice depends on individual circumstances.
