Contradicting feedback from cookings schools regarding how many sessions a 6 month cooking course needs to consist of to safely secure a DTV. One big school ditched their 8 session course and replaced with 24 sessions. A more expensive course but they said it’s necessary to obtain the DTV. Other big school said nah, 8 sessions is fine. I’m not knowing who to believe and my local Thai embassy is impossible to contact. Can anyone advise 🙏

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!

It has been suggested I find a “shipping Broker” to have something sent from New Zealand. No idea what a “Shipping broker” is...

This proof of funds "20k baht" at airport is very popular lately.

Do I need to have cash or bank statement will be enough or even better just show to them my bank APP?

Guys I applied for the 90 day report online and I think it was successful. They sent an email with the tm47 filled out. Do I need to bring that in to immigration or have I completed the 90 day report?

If choosing the soft power option,cooking school is there a certain amount of time you have to attend, like the whole 5 years? I did ask one school and they said 2 classes a Week, but when I asked for how long they as as long as you want. Didn’t really help me much.
