What are the requirements for applying for a DTV visa in Thailand, particularly regarding course durations and accepted programs?

Floyd I’ve rented a spot on KPG. Does it make sense to you that this might be a problem or is the real point that ‘one has spent money at a Thai business?

Floyd *********

then again maybe you don’t want a visa.

Floyd *********

it’s a school

They have Thai language for 60 hours 12 month visas

If I were you I’d look into at least a 3-6 month course

most embassies won’t accept language you’ll need an ED visa for that

You need to check with the embassy to ensure they actually accept that type of course. Many don’t accept language programs, and yoga too, might not be accepted. Some also want to see that the training is longer than 6 months

It's advisable to book a course longer than 6 months now to apply for the DTV

Yasmin ***********

You can also check KPT language school on KPG for a thai course that will get you the ED Visa

Yasmin ***********

it has to be a cultural thai activity approbed by the government to be valid for the dtv visa. There is only one place on KPG that is approved for the dtv. Chinnara muay thai gym.

Maybe you should google more information about the DTV

You expect to get a 5 year visa for a 2 week class? There have been people that have been denied for a 6 month class at some embassies and given a tourist visa instead.
