What are the steps to obtain a DTV in Thailand for studying language and soft power?
I'm interested in getting a DTV. I've been in Chiang Mai for a few months and I will be leaving in a couple of days, back to the USA. I want to return to Thailand in September and study Thai language and other areas of "Soft Power". I have the required amount of money in my American bank. Are there steps I should take in the next few days? Must I enroll in a Language class (I haven't decided which one)? I study Muay Thai now and will continue but that facility doesn't qualify yet for DTV. What advice can you give? Thanks.
Answer summary
The user is seeking advice on obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) to study the Thai language and soft power topics after returning from the USA. They are unsure if enrollment in a language class is mandatory, given that their current training facility for Muay Thai does not qualify for the DTV. Previous comments advise checking with the Thai embassy for accurate information and highlight that DTV does not typically cover Thai language classes, suggesting an education visa instead.

DTV does not include Thai language classes as they have specific requirements in order to extend that visa every 90 days.

You need to check with your Thai embassy back home. The vast majority of Thai embassies will not issue a DTV based on Thai language. They'll tell you to get an education visa instead.
