What do I need to know about applying for a DTV visa for Soft Power Cooking Classes in Thailand?

Hello everyone, I’d appreciate it if someone could help with a few questions.

I’m planning to apply for a DTV visa for Soft Power Cooking Classes.

I live near Jomtien and I’m constantly dealing with visa issues, always waiting for a possible entry refusal.

Does anyone here have experience with the DTV Soft Power Cooking Classes, and is there any school around Pattaya? If not, Bangkok would also work. Ideally, I’d like to attend once a week, or however it’s organized.

Also, having 500,000 THB in the bank is not a problem.

Thanks in advance for your reply. All the best!

I go to Arun Thai in Bangkok and you've got a year to attend in total 8 sessions I think. They told me that it's also possible to defer maximum another year.

Some classes for DTV are not attended. Only for documentation purposes.
