What is the easiest soft power to obtain for a DTV visa in Thailand?
I Require DTV.
Hi all I have 6 weeks left before travelling, I am about to apply for a DTV but still don't have a soft power. I have tried messaging various Yoga classes but they have either shut down or can't help. What is the easiest soft power to obtain to help get a DTV. I appreciate any help guys. Thanks in advance.

Workcation dtv is the most flexible and worry free, no need to maintain a course, and the in and outs arnt scrutinized because their is no course attendance concern.

The problem with actually doing a DTV visa based on Muay Thai is that you have to re-present an active course every time. So for someone who isn't really addicted to this sport... I don't know if it's really worth it.

We’ve successfully helped over 50 students with Muay Thai DTV. The turn around is typically 4 weeks and have never had a student turned down due to incorrect documentation

for what it's worth.... I did get over 500k baht worth of dental work done but they immigration had no way of knowing that when I applied.Fred ****
@Karl ******
I do acknowledge i got lucky.... my bank statement was also missing a few things I didn't notice until I sent it off, I thought fir sure they would ask me for more but they didn't. Bank statement only had my name, address and balance.... no routing or acct number, not the name of the bank lol, not even a date 😄🤦It was a new bank account with the minimum amount and again I didnt notice until Friday night when I was filling out the app online... lucky for sure.

Yoga isn't a Thai soft power

Do your homework, yes it is!!!GrayWal********
@Steve ******
if you know it better, then why are you asking in this group? You are member of this group for almost 4 months, there are hundreds of posts about Thai Soft Power activities still you are asking but in the same time you know it better than others

@Steve ******
- Soft Power relates to courses that showcase Thai specific content - like Thai cooking and Muay Thai. Yoga has nothing to do with Thai culture. Where did you see that it is covered?Steve *******
OPDTV_BegPecker all good got sucked in by AI will be taking up a cooking course to obtain the DTV.

@Steve ******
why on earth would yoga be a soft power activity 🤣
ดาร่า ********
GrayKale866 Yoga is not a Thai cultural activity, it originated in India and has less widespread acceptance or practice than it does in the West.
Dom ********
GrayKale866 ok well I’m sure a lot of people wish drinking beer on the beach was one too but it’s obviously not going to be

@Dom *******
well, why not? I wish … it would definitely be something I apply with vs Thai boxingGrayK******
@Steve ******

No yoga for DTV
