Hi guys!

My partner and I are travelling to Thailand in September so that he can complete a Scuba Instructor Course(course is all booked and deposit paid). The course is seven months and we were planning to get the 6 month tourist visa and extend the final entry to ensure he could finish his qualification. However this was before we learned about the DTV. I think he is the prime candidate for the soft powers bracket of the DTV.

However that leaves me a bit stuck. I am a teacher in secondary schools and have recently branches out to AI evaluating online, however as I am new to this the work is not consistent yet and so I don’t think I could swing a remote worker DTV. Which leaves me with soft powers. I’m interested in doing Muay Thai and Yoga whilst we are there, but how long a course would I need to book to qualify? I saw someone said they booked a year of Muay Thai, has anyone booked less than this and qualified?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!
