Can I use a Thai language course for a DTV visa instead of an ED visa?
I was thinking of the ED visa for learning Thai language in person.
I understand under the “soft power” option (DTV)relates to Muy Thai and cooking.
I came across the “Pro Language” website. They state they are suitable for the DTV (obviously still have to meet the other criteria).
I wasn’t aware a course in language is acceptable for the DTV mainly why i was originally looking at the ED.
Has anyone had experience of the school for either DTV or ED?
I’m not sure if the course is enhanced with some cultural workshops.
I would gladly book 6-12m courses each year if they offer progressive classes the duration of a DTV ( 5 years of learning)which I’m guessing could only assist of re-entry say in a few years time. Thank you in advance.

Answer summary
The user is exploring the possibility of obtaining a DTV visa through a language course at 'Pro Language.' They initially considered the ED visa but discovered the DTV might be legitimate for language learning, augmented by cultural workshops. However, responses indicate that while schools may claim to qualify for DTV, it ultimately depends on the embassy's acceptance, which typically views language courses less favorably than cultural ones.

The offer a blended course, part cultural and part language. It's the cultural part that brings the DTV into play. But as

Anyone can say their class qualifies for DTV. But the school doesn't make that decision. It's each embassy that decides what they will or will not accept, and most embassies will not accept a language course.
