How can I apply for a DTV visa and sign up for activities before arriving in Thailand?

Getting a dtv is a simple process. You really dont need an agent to help. You must pay for a soft power activity and get documents from the school before applying. We are doing a cooking course

Use the internet to search and book/pay for soft power option

No you will not get the visa with a ‘plan’

Be very careful with applying for a dtv make sure you get accredited Maui Thai school that have all the necessary info your need a few bits from them as your see when you apply on the visa website for DTV it can be done but requires a lot of things and it must all be correct other wise they will denie application and your loose your money . Just a heads up . I’m sure there’s a few people out there on dtv doing muai Thai etc good luck mabey have a look at the visa website page and also search for acreditated schools there’s a good one in kho Tao if your going down that way and there’s plenty in Bangkok good luck David 👍🏼

You can also learn to speak Thai at a school but you’ll have to get the letter from them also stating that your enrolled

I think you get in touch with a company that does whatever activity you choose, you then pay them for the course & they send you confirmation. Which you use for the DTV

You need to decide where you are going to stay in thailand and then look to see what soft power (i assume you mean muay thai) providers who are registered and provide you with the appropriate approved course and paperwork to support your application. You will need to sign up and pay for the course before you will get the supporting documents to apply for your DTV. There is a forum that deals with DTV on Facebook so I would suggest you look out for it and join

First of all, it's soft power, not soft core.

Second, immigration has nothing to do with DTV. It's embassies that issue the DTV visa. And no, no visa anywhere is issued based on your promise to do something.
