Anyone in Kanchanaburi with DTV visa? Looking for help to get soft power DTV. Cooking, language, anything except Muay. I have small business consulting company but no revenue mostly nonprofit work helping entrepreneurs. Does this qualify?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry is about obtaining a soft power DTV visa in Thailand, with a focus on language and cooking options, while clarifying that the inquirer has a small nonprofit consulting business with no revenue. Comments suggest that solely language options are not viable for the DTV visa and highlight that having a business without revenue may not satisfy the visa requirements, pointing towards alternative options.

Pure language is not a option, you will most likely get a ED-visa, but pay for a DTV.

If you have a business with no revenue you don't have a business. Go with one of the soft power options

If your business interacts with Thai businesses or citizens it won't fly for DTV.
