DTV soft power approved from Vancouver, Canada. Applied on December 9th and approved the same day.
Documents included:
Letter of invitation from House of Taste 6 month cooking course and included a personalized cover letter explaining my reasons for joining the program and aspirations once finished.
5 months of bank statements >500,000 THB with cover letter outlining exchange rate and table of contents.
Proof of current location included flight home from Thailand (arrived December 7th in Vancouver) and receipts of groceries and train home from airport next to my passport.
Past visas include 4 visa exempt stays over the past 2 years, with 3 of them being extended. Very happy with this turnaround and result, I've heard good things about applying from Canada and it lived up to the expectation.
Let me know if you have any questions!
