Would someone be willing to explain how to obtain a DTV Soft Power visa? Do I have to use an agency, or can I do it myself? What would I need to do? Thank you for any advice.
Answer summary
To obtain a DTV Soft Power visa, individuals can generally apply themselves rather than through an agency. Key steps include enrolling in a soft power activity for at least six months, preferably longer, and then applying at a consulate outside of Thailand with the necessary documentation from the activity provider. It's essential that the activity provider has experience with supporting DTV applications.

Depends if you're genuine or not. If you've got a genuine course booked you can do it yourself, if you haven't and just want the visa, pay an agency.

Most people do it themselves. You sign up for a soft power activity of at least 6 months duration, preferably longer, then you leave Thailand and apply at your chosen consulate by fulfilling their requirements. Make sure the soft power provider has a history of supporting DTV applications and can supply the required paperwork
