I’m trying to apply for the DTV ( destination Thailand Visa ) online

However there is very little communication (close to zero I guess they are busy With upcoming season) with the Thai embassy in Bucharest where I apply online and payed

They needed additional information regarding freelance work that I can not give them

Maybe I am the one making the mistake I thought freelance was the same as self-employed

I have been / still are Self-employed but use were little energy in to this now.

I close to early retirement.

It is only : purpose of visit

Where I want to switch from

A : freelancer status

to

B : Thai soft power Proof of confirmation to attend Thai cooking class

I have search for take cooking classes in Phuket

But I don’t know which one they mean that will count as being a participant in take cooking classes

Anyone knows if it’s just these half a day ( 4 hours) classes, is one enough or how many is required

How is the special schools I need to apply for Thai cooking classes ?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is applying for a Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) and facing issues with the Thai embassy in Bucharest regarding requirements for proving engagement in Thai cooking classes. They are unsure if a short, 4-hour class qualifies and seek clarification on how many classes or what specific type of certification is required. Comments emphasize the importance of checking with the specific embassy for accurate and relevant requirements, as policies can vary significantly.

Thailand will not give you a five year visa to do a 4 hour cooking course are you retarded Fucc@#$#@$$

@Phil *****
so you do 1 only 4 hour cooking course and you get a 5 year DVT visa. Are you delusional no one would want a tourist visa or retirement visa if that was the requirement. So that's what you have done you have enrolled in 4 hour cooking course and have the 5 year DVT visa

no not crazy David. People have been granted DTV for minor dental procedures too. Google it. You would be surprised

The only people who can answer that question is the embassy. Each embassy sets their own requirements, so what anyone else has done doesn't matter because you're not using the same embassy as them. But many embassies are requiring much more than a 4 hour course. You can do that with a tourist visa.

Some embassies requires 1-2 weeks, some require 1 month, 3 months or 6 months. It's up to the embassy.
