TLDR : Answer Summary

This post inquires about the success of applicants for the DTV visa using soft power related activities, specifically whether the course must be five years and if learning Thai language qualifies as an option. It also questions the currency requirements for financial evidence. Comments clarify that each embassy has different criteria for acceptable courses and that financial evidence may be accepted in various currencies.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

THAI ******************************

Each embassy has its own specific requirements, which we’ve seen through handling hundreds of applications.

If you’re looking to extend your DTV visa from within Thailand, you’ll need to meet the same requirements as your initial application. Because of this, some people opt for border runs instead.

We can assist with both extensions and first-time applications if needed.

If applying on your own be careful as some programs will not issue you the correct documents to satisfy these requirements because they may be unaware. In those cases make sure to reach out with the embassy before signing up to a course.

You must get the answer to these questions from the embassy you will be applying at. Each embassy sets their own requirements. Some might accept a 1-week course, some might accept a 1-month course while some might accept a 6-month course.

Which courses are and are not acceptable is determined by your embassy.

Financial evidence should be fine any in any currency, but may vary by embassy.
