Hello, to take up the soft power activities, how many programs do I need to take every year to cover the 5yrs visa?
Answer summary
To obtain a 5-year visa for soft power activities, you typically need to enroll in an initial course or program, which can be for a duration of 6 or 12 months. After the initial application, there is no requirement to continue the activities for the remainder of the visa term.
