If I’m going for the DTV by needing to do a Thai soft power activity, how often do I need to do it? I understand it needs to be a 6 month course but does it need to be everyday? Once a week, once every two weeks?

Looking at cooking classes and Muay Thai?

Looking at cooking classes and Muay Thai?

Considering DTV for Kung fu, instead of Muay Thai. Any recommendations on places that will sponsor?

Hello. I'm looking to understand if it's possible to get a DTV visa based on a vegan cooking course. If anyone knows of such a course. How do I know for sure that the course gives me what I need for a visa. How much minimum time is needed. And if I have to renew the course every time or is one time enough to get a 5-year visa?

Thank you 🙏

Need Advice: DTV Visa Rejected – What Now?

Hi everyone,

I recently applied for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) as a Dutch national, under the Thai Soft Power Activities category (Muay Thai training). I submitted my application to the Thai embassy in The Hague, but unfortunately it was rejected.

Here’s what I submitted:

1. Biometric passport page

2. Recent passport photo

3. Bank statement (over 500,000 THB in my name, held for 3+ months)

4. Proof of residence

5. Muay Thai gym documentation

I initially uploaded the standard documentation provided by the Muay Thai gym. After submission, the embassy specifically asked for “a certificate issued to the school/gym from the Office of Boxing Sport Board, Sports Authority of Thailand.”

The gym was surprised, as they claimed this was already included. Still, they issued a new cover letter explaining their compliance with all relevant government bodies. I uploaded that — but even after submitting the extra explanation, the visa was rejected.

It seems the reason for rejection is linked to the Muay Thai documentation, despite all efforts.

My flight to Thailand is booked for September 1st, and I’m now unsure what to do:

1. Re-apply with another Muay Thai gym

2. Apply under the Workation category instead (I meet all requirements)

3. Go to Vietnam or another nearby country and apply from there

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue? Any advice would be hugely appreciated — especially before I spend another €350 on a new application.

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys! Thanks in advance for anyone will share any info 🙏🏻!

Anyone had experience using diving schools as Thai soft power activity perhaps mixed with some medical treatments whit a plan of appointments for an implant to a dentist clinic ?

I would love to apply on line from Italy for the DTV visa 🙏🏻

Thanks!

Is there anyone here get a DTV visa base on Thai soft power activities ? My husband is a retired veteran and he's under 50. Where we can get a supporting document for DTV soft power activities . Thank you.

Please !! For the ones who got approved/Denied for the DTV specifically regarding the Thai soft power activities may you please share your experience and if you completed the application online or at a embassy and the reasoning for getting denied/approved also how many months do I need to enroll in a activity.

Thank you In advance 

Following all the posts in this group, I have seen some who are not interested or able to register as nomad digital workers to apply for this visa.

Remember there are other alternatives listed as Thai Soft Power Activities

So if you do not work online but want to apply, you can still qualify for the Thailand DTV Visa if you plan to engage in “Thai Soft Power” activities. These include:

Muay Thai courses

Thai cooking courses

Sports training

Medical treatment

Seminars

Music festivals

I have now made contact with a school for this cookery course in the north eastern province of Khon Kaen. Been there with my friend Wanida Somruecha for a meeting and tour of the facilities. This gives a different environment to engaging in this course in a city like Bangkok for instance. It is a small family run business on the outskirts of the city, but easy access to shopping malls, night markets etc. They also offer a mixed dormitory bed included in the price or help find accommodate nearby for 600 baht per night.

Classes are for a max of 5 students so you get the upmost attention to gain that extra knowledge too.
