I know the LTR isn't specifically for digital nomads, but if you qualify, it's another visa to relocate to Thailand, and work legally. Just as many of the other visas, some people will be excluded due to income or degree requirements, so I don't see this as any different.
Many of the - what I consider - digital nomad visas, aren't specifically called that, but I think digital nomads are still a group that qualifies for them.
Some countries have visas specifically for digital nomads and remote workers. Those have reasonable requirements that many/most nomads can satisfy.
Other countries, such as Thailand, do not offer long-term visas for typical digital nomads and remote workers. The LTR visa is targeted at a very different demographic. No one plausibly called a digital nomad will get the LTR visa.
The Thailand Elite visa has just one requirement: paying a lot up-front for it. Wealthy nomads get that. Older nomads (50+) can get a retirement visa fairly easily. Neither of those include a work permit, or Thai taxes.
For remote workers and nomads who can’t afford Thailand Elite and don’t qualify for any of the other long-term visas I suggest looking into Iglu.
