If you applied for the DTV Soft Power in Australia, could you share what requirements the embassy asked from you?

Did they ask for airline tickets? Proof of where you plan to live longterm in Thailand? Or anything else beside the money and the course?
Answer summary
When applying for the DTV Soft Power visa in Australia, specific requirements include supplying a one-way flight e-ticket and a hotel booking for the first five days in Bangkok. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate financial stability, showing at least 2 million baht in a bank account for three months. An unusual requirement for this visa type is providing photographs of the applicant engaged in cooking, likely to demonstrate genuine interest in the course. The application process takes approximately three weeks when submitted through the Sydney embassy.

I supplied a 1 way flight E-Ticket & just my first 5 day hotel booking in Bangkok

I showed in excess of 2 million baht for 3 months untouched with only interest payments… soft power was 6 months cooking class, only unusual requirement was having to supply pictures of me actually cooking! , ultimately to prove actual interest I imagine?

Applied via Sydney took 3 weeks.
