Hello, I am applying for DTV visa and planning to 

participate in a meditation retreat. 

Which ones are accredited for visa processing 

and how long and often i should participate in them? 

I am open to all the options, I am genuinely interested in it. 

Just unsure what will be convenient.

Summary so far

The user is seeking information on accredited meditation retreats in Thailand for processing a DTV visa. They inquire about the requirements for participation and the frequency of involvement in these retreats. Comments suggest that simply participating in a meditation retreat does not meet the 'soft power' requirements for the DTV visa, and that the course provider must be certified by the Thai Ministry of Education and other relevant authorities. There is uncertainty regarding the qualifications of meditation retreats in terms of visa processing.

Don't think I've heard of any meditation that qualifies as a Thai soft power cultural activity. The course provider would need to be approved certified and registered by Ministry of education and the ministry of sports and tourism. There is soft power for seminars and stuff like that but it really hasn't been defined and I don't think anybody has taken one for the team on that type of activity yet. You can Google: Thailand DTV soft power activities, to get a bit of insight

What are you using as your soft power for the DTV ?

A retreat would not qualify unless you are becoming a teacher showing a properly outlined course , from the retreat with costs etc.
