What are the training hours and flexibility like for the Soft Power DTV visa programs in Thailand?
Hi everyone 👋
For those of you on the Soft Power DTV, about how many hours per week are you realistically training?
-Is your program on a fixed schedule, or do you buy a package of sessions/hours and book them flexibly?
-Any homework or attendance expectations?
I previously did a language-training visa in another country, and the 20 hours per week plus homework was too much to manage alongside full-time remote work and family, so I’m trying to understand how flexible DTV eligible training programs really are in practice.

If you work remotely, apply as a remote worker.

If you are a remote worker you must apply using the dtv workation route. Using a soft power option does not provide permission to work remotely from inside Thailand so you would be working illegally. Get the correct option that fits your circumstances and you won't have any problems
