ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The Soft Power DTV Visa in Thailand allows participation in various courses such as Muay Thai, Thai cooking, and cultural training. However, an official list of qualified courses is not readily available. Although some users suggest that short-term medical treatments, like dental work, may not meet the visa criteria since the treatment duration (e.g., 6 weeks) falls short of the typical minimum requirement, especially when seeking a long-term visa. Most responses encourage enrolling in longer courses (at least 6 months) or considering other visa alternatives like the Workcation route.
