What are the requirements for maintaining a DTV visa under the soft power category in Thailand?
Soft power requirements
Hey everyone—quick question about the DTV under the soft power category:
If you’re enrolled in a course (like Muay Thai, cooking etc.), what happens when that course ends? Do you need to immediately enroll in another one to stay compliant? And if you leave Thailand after your course ends, do you need to already be enrolled in a new course before re-entering?
Trying to understand how strict immigration is about continuous enrollment and whether there’s any grace period. Appreciate any real experiences or up-to-date info—thanks!

Answer summary
The DTV visa, which falls under the soft power category in Thailand, does not require continuous enrollment in courses once the initial course ends. Visa holders can stay in Thailand for the remainder of the visa's validity without needing to be enrolled in a new course immediately. However, if a visa holder leaves Thailand after their course, they do not need to be enrolled in a new course before re-entering. There are also options to consider for medical DTV visas for ongoing procedures.

You can also get medical dtv , often forgotten if it’s an ongoing procedure or just check ups after the initial, something like dental repair or hormonal replacement therapy are suitable options

As it stands right now there is no requirement for ongoing activity or courses once the initial course you. were granted the DTV with ends

The visa is valid for 5 years, even when your paid course ends after a few months.
You can visit Thailand for the remaining validity of the visa as a tourist without working.
Or if you wish enroll in a new course.
