Please correct me if this is completely wrong or just a puerile question, but do I get it right that, no matter via which Embassy you apply, it's likely that DTVisa applications for Digital Nomads where the applicant is forcing to keep doing his/her remote job abroad are supposed to hand work contracts/arrangements, portfolios (or just one of the last three ones) AND documents that show monthly income (based on their profession) while DTV applications of people who are willing to participate in Thai Soft Powers (like cooking class or Muay Thai course) are "only" supposed to include a bank account that is well balanced (B 500,000, for the past three months at least) and the confirmation of that particular Thai soft power/cultural course?
Sometimes it seems unpredictable which argumentation is received well by the Thai embassies.
Is it counterproductive to include proof of a remote job arrangement of your company (thus, a monthly income) when you are determined to "only" participate in a Muay Thai course? Some Embassies can be very erratic when it comes to the constellation of your application's legend 🙄
Thanks so much for your attention!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion addresses the requirements for applying for a Digital Nomad Visa (DTVisa) compared to a Thai Soft Power Visa. It highlights that applicants for the DTVisa generally need to provide proof of income through work contracts or portfolios, in addition to demonstrating a bank balance of 500,000 Baht. In contrast, Soft Power Visa applicants may only need proof of registration in a cultural course and a sufficient bank balance, but cannot work during their stay. Including irrelevant documentation from one application type in another can lead to confusion at the embassy.
