What are the requirements and considerations for obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand?

Question

Just starting to look into DTV as an alternative, a few questions please experts 😊;

1. Do you have to prove your soft power attendance? If medical appointment, does it have to be for a long treatments?

2. Is it muay thai training only or any gym/sports trainings are ok?

3. Specific gyms/schools/clinics or any and we just submit receipt/ask them for statement letter?

4. And for renewal do we need another medical appointment or sports sign up?

Thank you all

This post discusses the requirements for obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand, specifically focusing on soft power attendance, acceptable sports training, recognized schools, and renewal processes. Key points include no strict proof of soft power attendance being currently necessary, with muay thai training being a focus but other sports potentially qualifying. It is important to enroll in officially registered schools or clinics for documentation and for renewal, border runs are preferred over in-country extensions.

1a) As of now, no. But with the recent crackdown on ED visa holders for non-attendance I can definitely see that becoming a thing at some point.

1b) Yes. They aren't going to give you a 5 year visa for having a tooth pulled.

2) This visa is for Thai cultural pursuits and that is muay thai. You might be able to find a gym that teaches other things (BJJ, MMA, ETC) but I believe the basis must be MT.

3) For MT or cooking,  you have to find a school that has been approved for DTV. Not sure about medical, but I imagine they will be more lenient with who is doing the treatment as long as they are a recognized doctor or facility. You should do a search in this group for medical posts.

4) I assume you mean getting the next 180 day stamp. Just do a border run. From people's shared experiences, in country extensions are a hassle and can be even harder to get sorted than when you first applied.
