Professional Athlete training in Thailand. Is this considered "foreign talent" for the purpose of the application?

Can you apply for a DTV under soft power for music instrument studies at a non- degree school in Thailand? If so how long should the course/class/lessons be listed as (8 months, 1 year etc)? Or strictly music festivals? Thank you in advance.

Does immigration have DTV details like category and subcategories? At the time of entry or exit do they know whether it is workation or Soft power? I am just curious because it is not mentioned on visa

Alternate Soft Power Cooking Schools Bangkok

1.) What are some alternate soft power cooking schools in Bangkok to apply with apart from Arun Cooking & House of Taste ?

2.) Between Hanoi, HCMC & Bali, who has had success applying there from which city ?

Yes, I’ve used the search bar of this group religiously. Just good to collect additional data. Thanks

DTV via Soft Power for Medical treatment? I am looking for Soft Power DTV and I see thai language course is not always accepted. I don't need Muay Thai.

I was wondering for Hair Loss Treatment (maybe one mesotherapy session each 4 months) as Medical treatment for Soft power. Do you think it could work?

I'm already looking into doing the treatment anyways so I thought I could take advantage of it.

I want to apply for DTV in Vietnam. I am basically eligible for both, workation and Myai Thai camp (soft power). Now I am choosing an option to go with. I am more inclining towards Myai Thai (since I want to attend classes anyway). Are there any disadvantages with soft power path compared to workation? Based on available history, which of them (soft power or workation) is easier when re-entering (after 6 month)? Do they ask a re-confirmation that you are still attending the Myai Thai classes when you are re-entering after 6 month (has it ever happened to anyone)? Also any potential differences with handling taxes (for non-Thai income)? Which of them has more chances (in general) for paying no taxes in Thai?

I am looking for soft power options in Krabi/ao nang.

I was planning on doing Discover Thai Nature, like many have suggested and the information is very interesting to me. I thought it was virtual seminars and I now realize it's in person classes in Bangkok. I do not want to live in Bangkok. I also after further research learned that there are no fully virtual class options on DTV.

Basically just looking for soft power options in Krabi if anyone has any recommendations I would really appreciate it.

I searched the group and just found one person saying they are doing Muay Thai but didn't list the gym

Thank you so much for any help

What is the easiest route for soft power DTV approval?

My preference is the cookery classes, I understand you have to book a 6 month term to be approved? Does anyone have any reliable and affordable cookery places? Preferably in Bangkok or Chinag Mai?

And will a 6 month class suffice for the entire 5 year Visa?

Thanks!
