Soft power does seem to be easier than proving you are a digital nomad or a remote worker, at least in my case when I switched categories to soft power, I was approved the next day

So, this is what I submitted:

- letter from my Muay Thai gym saying that I was coming to practice Muay Thai, confirming the dates

- Confirmation of 6 month gym package booking

- Business registration of gym

- Gym owner’s passport copy

- Visa application form

- Colour copy of passport

- Bank statements - 6 months (only had the full amount for the last month) and last month statement (closing balance)

- Thailand Rental agreement

- Flight details

- Vietnam hotel booking

- $340 cash

- Passport size photo

They just asked for some clarification of bank statements (seems to be what they are looking for and asking about the most), but otherwise was pretty straightforward)

I had an appointment on Friday, they said by Weds. No email so I went to the embassy Weds morning and it was done. They are moving to evisa at Hanoi soon (no exactly sure of the date)

 easy, the DTV visa is ISSUED for 5 years and it's multiple entry . EACH entry gives you 180 day STAMP on arrival. Can be extended one time for 180 days. Or do a simple LAND or Air or Sea border bounce to get another 180 day stamp.

 read the recent posts about the DTV visa from licensed Muay Thai training centers. Once off payment is getting the DTV visa issued. But training participation is required ✅

it’s a 5 year visa that gives you 180 days in Thailand at a time. You have to show that you have a certain amount of money in your bank and that prove your reason for being there (eg digital nomad or Muay Thai)
