What is the process and requirements for applying for the DTV visa under the soft power scheme in Thailand?
I’ve re-entered thailand 3 times with the DTV visa over the course of 7 months. I am under softpower scheme: And I made a video sharing my experience with immigration 🙂

The last time I made a detailed step by step video guide on how i compile and submit my docs for the dtv application and it helped soooo many people! So I hope my video helps, especially for those who are wondering what happens after you finish 6 months of muay thai etc under the soft power scheme

Funny how you didn’t say anything about MUAY Thai training like you never did it at all 🤔

@Val *****
with all the time away from Thailand, how are you able to do the Muay Thai training?

Funny that if you're polite and courteous to the IO staff, they will just do the job and you're on your way. Act like a pelican anywhere in Thailand and they will give it straight back to you. I've seen a person interact with a police officer at a traffic stop in the same manner for no reason at all, and he ended up in handcuffs 🤣

Absolutely! The guy next to you Val Wong was asking to be interrogated!! Seems he does not understand Thai culture at all... 🤣🤣

I did mine on soft power a few months after it was available - it was very easy. So I wonder how - since you have the visa already - can you have the experience to talk about it being requirements have changed so much.

I don't think the requirements have "changed" so much, but some people have had very different experiences with the IO, especially for the ones on the "soft power" application; experience has shown that many thai schools have very lax criteria for attendance checks... There has been a lot of discussion (info can be found searching in Thai media) about installing checks to ensure attendance and progress for all these soft power courses... which makes it IMHO more attractive to apply as a remote worker/ company owner if you can qualify.
Finally one very important thing to remember: the visa is not an absolute right to come into the country. The IO in front of you is the sole person who will authorize you to come in... or block you.
