Is a cover letter or resume required for soft power DTV applications in Thailand?

Is there a resume’ or additional personalised note submission for soft power applications? I am at step 4 at online submission. So far it did not ask me for justification but only asked for documents upload.

It would’ve been better for clarity if I could explain and justify my previous stays in Thailand and why I am switching to DTV

TLDR : Answer Summary
The submission for the soft power applications for a DTV currently does not explicitly require a resume or additional personalized note. However, it is advisable to include a brief cover letter that explains your previous stays in Thailand and your motivation for switching to the DTV. This cover letter can be combined with your DTV application documents into a single PDF for convenience. Additionally, it's suggested to express your appreciation for Thai traditions and acknowledge the legal limitations regarding work in Thailand.

Best to also say, I have a love of Thai traditions and happy to support this school and confirm I am fully aware of the laws that I cannot engage in any work whilst in Thailand unless I apply for a work permit (if applicable)

I’m assuming you are applying for a DTV under the soft option’s category

thanks. That was exactly my question. Where (at which screen on upload) to say if it is not giving me an option?

Anonymous participant Last section from memory sec 5? There is option you up load your final psf that contains everything you need to submit, remember max 3mb, so plenty of merging and condensing fikes until you have one big one, my last one in section 5 was around 2.6mb

Include a very brief cover letter along with your DTV scheme documents and combine it all into a single PDF for upload
