Switching from ED to DTV

Hello, my ED language visa is up in a few weeks and instead of extending I’d rather just get the DTV (muay thai)— I love my classes but just want the flexibility and longevity. Is this usually an easy switch and should I apply from the same embassy I did for ED (Hanoi) or a different one like Bali? Any advice much appreciated thank you

Report from Manila. Successful DTV application.

This is quite an unusual application I guess so thought to share.

I got my DTV from London about a month ago, I'm a UK citizen. My partner is from Philippines, she has just been granted a DTV too, application in Manila.

We are not married, and she has not got the funds in her account. I wrote a sponsorship letter and provided proof of our relationship (3 years, lots of photographs and history of communication). Both on soft power (cooking class in Chiang Mai), also sent lots of evidence of my time in Philippines (passport stamps), and copies of my finances.

Approved in 6 working days after request for some secondary info (not complicated).

Any questions then fire away. I'm happy to answer anything if it will help other people.

I applied the DTV and got rejected for a reason that seemed to be ridiculous. The reply said that my application was cancelled because when I input my name, there was one missing "-" and not exactly the same as that on my passport. Do you have similiar reject experience due to this kind of small typo difference? They took my money and kick me out just due to this easily correctable typo which I don't it can be classified as a mistake......

I really need help understanding the soft power DTV. On re entry to thailand, what happens if ive used all of the package for the muay thai? Do I have to re apply for a new package each time I enter, within my 5 years?

Or will one package work for the full 5 years. I really cant explain what I mean 😅
