Why was my entry denied by the immigration officer in Thailand despite having a DTV?

Mike **********

Anonymous participant 957 I avoid bringing up work, but the DTV explicitly allows you to do it if you're not competing in the Thai labor market.

What are the updated requirements and benefits of the LTR 10-year Visa in Thailand?

Mike **********

because the requirements make no sense. Iirc they projected 250k people a year to get these, and never even got 10.

Why are Thai massage classes not considered a form of soft power for the DTV visa?

Mike **********

education visas needed to be for accredited schools, I only ever heard of language, cooking, and muay thai. I'm not sure if DTV soft power needs to be accredited or not. if this has never been an option though, that may be the reason why.

@Charles *******

you cannot compete with Thai labor. You can't make a website for a Thai cafe, even if you have your own non Thai company.

What is the experience of applying for a DTV visa in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia?

Mike **********

I can tell you I'm sitting here in KL wishing I applied here, as the visa I applied through via LAX is taking a long time to get responses out of. First response was over 15 complete business days, asked for more docs. I responded immediately and am now past 9 complete days waiting for second review...

Can I transition from an education visa for Muay Thai to a DTV soft power visa in Thailand?

Mike **********

I am curious about this too, I think the school needs to be accredited for both. DTV is a tourist visa instead of education one. I've not heard of anyone trying this yet. I did 1y ED for Muay Thai but applied for DTV as digital nomad/workcation.
