Anyone used this seminar to apply for the DTV? It only costs 3999.00 Baht. It says you have to attend only once per month online. The website says it qualifies for the DTV. I wonder if its legit or scam.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around a seminar that claims to help participants apply for a DTV visa (Digital Nomad Visa) for 3999 Baht. Participants express skepticism about the seminar's legitimacy, with some considering it a scam while others claim it is registered and has had successful cases. Questions arise regarding the authenticity of the seminar, its online participation requirements, and whether the fee includes necessary documentation for the visa application.

 do you know which embassy in Germany? Also, I looked on your website and your schedule is 12 months. Is it one time payment? Or would I need to pay 5x?

Hey. I am the leader of that seminar. We are registered with the Department of Business (you can check on our website) and we have already successful participants for the soft-power category (currently: Germany, London and New Zealand). The seminar is not completely online and we track participation for response to the Government

That is likely not going to cut it. You refer to "business documents" what is the title of those documents?

Common sense would say NO.

I wonder how people think a dental appointment for a filling, will get 5 year Visa. Online course could be done from home, no need to go to Thailand for that.

A lot of bogus courses promise a lot, but deliver less.

 it doesn’t make sense yet it works. While not entirely the same, a root canal is 3-4 appointments and would qualify.

Others are doing 6 month courses with ‘highly flexible’ attendance and still getting the DTV.
