I want to apply for the DTV visa but under soft core heading how would one sign up for activities when you are not currently in Thailand. Would Immigration issue the visa on the basis that you will sign up for a course when you arrive in Thailand.

Hello everyone,

I'm from France. I just got a PhD in Al and would like to focus on a personal project for one year. Renting a condo in Bangkok would be perfect for me, my goal is to work a lot while keeping an easy life alongside it.

Is there a way I could apply for a DTV as a digital nomad without clients?

I have more than the required 500k THB in my personal savings account and have had it for years. I wouldn't have any income this year, but I have enough to live on.

This project would take all my time, so I'm not sure that applying for a soft power activity is a good idea. But if you know any not-too-restrictive activities in Bangkok, I would be interested.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer me.

What happens with soft power after you finish the course?

Can you go out and back again the following year without a booked class?

Do they question you?

Hi. I need some advise. Im applying for my DTV and would like to register for language school to meet one of the requirements. Can someone please recommend an online language school.

Would be grateful for some advice or tips from those who have successful obtained their DTV and have a similar situation:

* husband and wife duo both between 60-70 y.o

* based on research soft power seems to be the way to go, does applying for the same activity matter or can it be different ones? (leaning towards culinary for one and medical tx for the other)

* for those that have secured the DTV via medical treatment, do you have recommendations for specific dental clinics or general wellness clinics that could help streamline the process?

Thank you

Hello people! I am 36 American and medically retired from the military. I will be getting 100% disability and will be continuing my education for my bachelor's degree fully online.

What options are there for me if any to permanently relocate to Thailand? I've read a bit about the visa options, but some expertise would be much appreciated! Thank you all!

I’m retired I’ve done AI search and it says there’s a little known about “purpose of visit” drop down section other than soft power and workcation, “financially independent” it says many retirees have made successful applications via this route. Is anyone else aware of this or successfully applied using this method please ? TIA

As a newbie, can I get a straight about DTV for Thai language programs? When I googled it, and read the embassies page, it looks like a hard no. But the first few posts that I've seen here mention success stories with DTV for Thai language programs, so which is it?

What are examples of soft power activities that have qualified for DTV besides Muay Thai and cooking? I will be living in Khon Kaen and am interested in learning the language and culture, attending festivals, visiting temples and learning more about Buddhism. I haven’t found anything at Khon Kaen University (I think I need to learn from a Thai language tutor and immersion before taking a college class offered in Thai).

Suggestions?

People on soft power activities DTV, did you face any problems returning to the country after the initial 180 days?

What documents do you need to carry for immigration when reentering on a DTV?

I have a Muay Thai DTV visa, due to some unforeseen circumstances I had to be away from Thailand for 4 months, I’m planning to return soon and just want to be prepared for what to expect at immigration
