Should I apply to a cooking school in Chiang Mai instead of a language school for my DTV soft power visa application?
Chiang Mai - Softpower DTV
Applied DTV soft power via a language school in Chiang Mai (cultural).
Looks like it might get rejected.. received a reply from London embassy as follows:
"Thai Language or Culture learning class is not included in DTV soft power . Kindly ask school to provide the License for Establishing a Non-Formal Private School permitted Thai cooking class issued by Provincial Education Office, relevant Thai Authority"
I don't actually mind doing a cooking course. Should I apply to a cooking school under same application? Thinking otherwise will lose my application fee.
Any recommendations for cooking school or other suggestions in CM area?

I think the embassy are giving you the chance to choose another soft power course so thats not bad really. If you fancy cooking find a cooking school with experience providing documents for dtv application. Good luck

Was that the TLS Course? Language courses alone have never been accepted for DTV. Anyway, this school has seen successful applications since the start of the DTV.
