What are the soft visa activities for the Thai DTV visa and how do they apply to children?

Soft power usually means things like Muay Thai, Thai cooking schools, meditation, dance, etc. - but only if the gym or school is on the approved list. For kids, they don’t need to do activities themselves, they can be added under the parent’s DTV visa.

It can get confusing because each embassy can ask for different proof. If you want to avoid the back-and-forth and really understand the process, I’d recommend checking out Thailand DTV Visa Guide by Niran Chaisiri on Amazon. It’s the only detailed guide out there right now, and it really helps clear up these grey areas.

The children would be dependents via the main parent DTV. The soft power activities are culturally based such as Thai cooking. Muay Thai or via medical treatment. You should.check the main DTV group on FB, for tips on applying.
