What is the process of changing from a Muay Thai DTV to a Digital Nomad DTV in Thailand?
Does anybody know the process of changing the soft power (muay Thai) dtv to the digital nomad dtv?
Answer summary
The community discussion indicates that changing a Muay Thai Digital Tourist Visa (DTV) to a Digital Nomad DTV may not be necessary. Users shared that the DTV is valid for 5 years, and those who complete the course can work remotely without re-enrolling. However, it was noted that if one desires to officially change the purpose on their visa, it would require canceling the current visa and reapplying. Additionally, there are concerns about immigration checks on active enrollment in Muay Thai courses, but many concur that sufficient proof of completed training is often accepted.

I only booked a 6 month course which finished over a year ago. Just show the DTV and get stamped in no questions asked. I'm now working remotely legally as a DTV holder. Hope this helps.

Terry_buzzard_0111 So does mine, it means you can't work for Thai companies. Only remote work is permitted.

There's no practical need to do this. Your visa is valid for 5 years, and you can start working remotely for clients outside of Thailand.

OP@Steve ******
aye. But it means paying for 6 months muay Thai courses again. I'm trying to weigh up the pros and cons. So I appreciate your answer thanks.Steve *******
Terry_buzzard_0111 no it doesn't. If you already have the visa, it is valid for 5 years. You don't have to fulfill the requirements to apply again. You'll get 180 days at each entry.
Unless they've started checking for active courses at the airports, which I wouldn't know anything about atm.
See what other people have reported in the group. Ignore the anonymous posts.

Should not be a problem.
Be sure any customer served is outside of Thailand.
Hmmmmm 🤔 🤔
Did you complete the Muay Thai training for which you applied for the DTV visa ?? Or you didn't attend classes ?

I completed the 6 months muay thai course yes. Not sure if I want to do more.

Terry_buzzard_0111 you don't have to do more. Your classes are over and now you can enjoy the rest of your time until your DTV expires.

Terry_buzzard_0111 For your own peace of mind it's best to filter out the troll reports. You know, those posted by anonymous participants, nicknames and burner profiles.

OP@Christopher **********
the reports I'm reading, some people getting stopped and need to prove on going muay Thai. It just seems too easy to enter Thailand again using my dtv without another course booked. I'm trying to find out.Christopher ***********
Terry_buzzard_0111 Why do you suggest that could happen? As a DTV holder who has already completed their six months Muay Thai Boxing course you will know that there is no requirement to enrol in any subsequent course.

OPA. Nony Mous aye, but then I run the risk of getting stopped at immigration when I return to BKK.

Terry_buzzard_0111 thank you for your helpful reply ✅.

You can be a digital nomad and train Muay Thai/go to cooking school/get medical treatment during your 5 year visa period. If you want to change the words on your piece of paper you would need to cancel your visa and reapply
