How often do I need to participate in Thai soft power activities for the DTV visa?

Feb 25, 2026

If Iโ€™m going for the DTV by needing to do a Thai soft power activity, how often do I need to do it? I understand it needs to be a 6 month course but does it need to be everyday? Once a week, once every two weeks?

Looking at cooking classes and Muay Thai?

TLDR : Answer Summary
To satisfy the requirements for a DTV visa related to Thai soft power activities, it is generally necessary to complete a course over six months, but it does not require daily attendance. Participants can attend classes at varying frequencies, such as once a week or every two weeks. Discussions among community members suggest that enrollment in an activity like Muay Thai or cooking classes, along with proof of payment and commitment for the duration of the course, is typically sufficient for fulfilling the visa requirements.
