Hello everyone,

In thai Embassy in the UK clearly states only Muay Thai and Thai cooking courses are accepted for the DTV application.

However, I have communicated with Pro-Language School in Pattaya and they confirmed that one of their course that involves with Cultural and Thai language would be eligible programme to apply for DTV.

*The school states in their website:** this course allows the students to experience the Thai language, Thai traditions, and Thai culture through Thailand’s Soft Power activities, such as cooking Thai food. This well-rounded course integrates Thai language learning with real Thai cultural experiences, helping students communicate naturally while understanding Thai manners, Thai cultural values, and the Thai local lifestyle.*

All the recent information I’ve read has left me unsure about whether to apply for this course because I am usure this course will be eligible to get the 5-year DTV. Has anyone had experience with this specific course or school, and do you know if it qualifies me to apply for the Destination Thailand Visa

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions!
Summary so far
The post discusses the eligibility of a Thai language and culture course at Pro-Language School for the DTV application, despite official sources indicating only Muay Thai and cooking courses as acceptable. There is confusion among community members regarding the criteria for the DTV, with mixed opinions about the course's validity. Many commenters suggest contacting the Thai embassy directly for clarification, sharing experiences of varying outcomes with similar courses, and expressing skepticism about the school's claims.
