Should I include both cooking classes and cosmetic treatment in my visa application cover letter for Thailand?

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, can’t see how this would hinder my application at all but thinking to go down the soft power route as I am interested in both cooking classes and cosmetic treatment in Thailand which I know falls under the medical category. In my cover letter would it be okay to evidence both of these or would it be better to just stick to one and provide documentation for it. I am applying through the London embassy.

Just use the most reasonable method. Don’t overcomplicate matters and annoy the reviewing staff.

You need paperwork from the place you’re going to be using. It already needs to have been paid for and they have to send you specific documents for your DTV application. It can’t just be a general interest you have in unspecified activities.

You need to have chosen what the activity is before you apply for the visa

You need five years for that cosmetic treatment?

I think that you’re qualifying activity for the visa probably at some point might be called a question

I think the simpler and straight forward, the better. It seems that when you overcomplicate the paperwork, it leads to issues
