ORIGINAL POSTERHi guys, there are two types of the application for DTV, workation and softpower.
If you are approved using the softpower option, you are still allowed to work for a company that has nothing to do with Thai companies or companies in Thailand. Correct?
I have seen both information and I am not sure.
Thank you for your help!
Update: It seems like it is permitted to work remotely as long as you have DTV and you are not working for any Thai companies or companies in Thailand whether you get the visa with the soft power option or digital nomad option or the other one. The point seems you have DTV. I am checking the official info but it does not say you cannot work with the softpower option. I think you can. There are legit bloggers who are working like that too. It’d be great if it is answered on an official website or something.

ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone, I’m planning to apply for the Soft Power DTV next month. I’ve found a Muay Thai gym offering a 9-month package and I meet the financial requirements of 500k.
Is there any indication that applying in Hanoi is currently easier than in HCMC? And is Laos a viable alternative to Vietnam?
I was rejected once in Austria 2-3 months ago with a different DTV option - at that time my application wasn’t very well prepared, I guess. Is that a potential deal breaker?
Thank you!😇
