How can US citizens successfully obtain a Soft Power visa for Thailand, such as cooking or Muay Thai?

Question

Hey guys,
just my 2 cents  back to the community…mine got approved !

For US passport holders, if  Soft Power ( mine’s Cooking ), applying in US ( mine’s DC  office, took 2 Weeks, one shot ), and all required docs in place,.. it’s straight forward.

note, I never had any issues with my past several years visits as tourist.
I included one way Air and Hotel 1 month .
Tricky part for me is Rescanning all 15 pages of  separate PDF Docs from cooking school  into 1 PDF file ( 3 MB size limit ), lol.

Thanks to all who contributed !

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

That’s awesome. Question does your cooking class docs state your course is 6 months? The reason I ask I’m going to apply for a  Muay Thai  soft power. I have paid in advance for 3 months and told the school I want to train longer if I can get visas to work but in the letter from them states 3 months bc that’s what I paid for. When I apply for my DTV I was going to put 6 months bc that’s what intend to do.  Any feedback is appreciated!
