ORIGINAL POSTERHello. Has anyone received a dtv visa with this school JK Thai Inter School (language and cooking)? They don't do refunds for the course if the visa application was rejected. It's weird. So I ask in the chat if they are reliable.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation revolves around the reliability of JK Thai Inter School in obtaining a DTV visa, particularly their refund policy if the visa application is rejected. Participants express concerns about the school's lack of refunds and share experiences with other institutions that offer more favorable terms. Moreover, some comments highlight general frustrations with visa application uncertainty in Thailand and the challenges of finding reliable schools or agents.

Try the Thai Nature seminar instead. They offer refund

Just find a gym that offer full refund, we offer full refund if visa is rejected. There is no point of charging for the course fee if you are not in thailand to attend the course.(we even accept paypal so you can be protected by paypal policy that you will be covered for the refund if visa is rejected)

If a low chance of losing a few hundred bucks is a big issue, you should stay home.

Maybe some schools which help you manage your visa application process would provide refunds, but It would make sense that they don't. How do they know anything about your immigration history or financials and your chances for acceptance?

It's simple, because they get money for a service, if I don't show up for their cooking classes, it means the service wasn't rendered, and I'm supposed to get a refund. If the builders don't do your house renovations because of problems with the materials, should the builders return the money or not?Reply to

There is no refund from the Thai embassy that you apply also. So if you apply and you are rejected you lose your 10,000 bht. Why should any agent be different NO Refund. Donut yourself it's not that difficult unless you are a scammer

You are very inattentive, we are not talking about the embassy, ​​we are talking about the refund of money for the courses. This is an additional 25-30 thousand.David ********
Anonymous participant again good luck getting a refund. This is Thailand they won't even give a refund in a market 🤣🤣🤣 I never heard anyone getting a refund. Why use an agent it's easy to do. If they know you use an agent they will reject you How does an agent do the interview for you 🤣🤣

some agents offer refunds if you are rejected. And for a cheap price. They just have lots of customers, which compensate for any loss. That's what makes them an interesting option if you don't want to deal with it yourself.David ********
@Nick *****
I never same an agent with a cheap price for anything. They are leeches who want to suck your money. Good luck with a refund. Where in Thailand dies anyone willingly give a refund. Your dreamingNick ******
@David *******
I already got mine, in 3 business days. Through an agent who tries for you until you're approved, or refunds you. Stop talking like you 'know everything'.Reply to

Except for few gyms that obviously provide documents for dtv @

baht up (and they make a living out of that), most of the school are looking for real customers/students. It makes sense they don't do refunds cuz their main goal is NOT to provide visas but to offer classes. If u need the documents then u can do a fast research on this page and you'll find plenty of places than will offer refunds as wellAnonymous *************
