Can I get a refund for a cooking class paid for a DTV if granted a METV instead?
Has anyone been able to get a refund for cooking class, when applied for dtv but granted a 6 month metv ? Can anyone share, if you were able to get a refund for the course or how to get a refund?
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the possibility of obtaining a refund for a cooking class after being granted a 6-month Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) instead of the desired Digital Nomad Visa (DTV). Comments reveal that the visa is often tied to the course, with mixed opinions on refund eligibility depending on the school's policy. Some believe a refund is unlikely, while others suggest seeking compensation documents for future DTV applications. Overall, the community highlights the complexities of visa applications and the relationship with course enrollment.

Even if no refund, the School maybe willing to prepare docs for the next DTV attempt !

Partly_enlightened That is a helpful suggestion. Especially if the school advertised that the course qualified for DTV and provided appropriate documentation and advice. If they don't offer anything in the way of compensation, I would apply for your DTV via Issa Compass. They have a 99% success rate, offer full refunds in the unlikely event of failure (their fee plus Embassy fee) or, alternatively, you can opt for one further free submission at a different Embassy.

You were given a visa that lasts as long as the classes you signed up for, so what's the problem? Are you trying to scam the system for a five year visa?

That depends entirely on the school you applied with. Should've asked about refund policy b4 you chose.

You get the visa because of the course you're doing. you shouldn't be doing the course because of the visa....

nope it’s not the USA or Europe…..if your on a DTV that’s alittle bit of money.

Depends on the provider. Some will offer refunds but realistically it’s unlikely you’ll get refunded unless they’re offering some sort of guarantee.

A refund? Why? How? Isn't the course under 6 months anyways?
