I know that many people have gone the route of an Education Visa with TSL. Has anyone chosen the DTV visa offering through TSL? I am curious if anyone has had a DTV approved with their programs, and if so, how's the program so far?
Answer summary
The post inquires about experiences with the DTV visa offered through TSL, comparing it to the more commonly used Education Visa. A comment highlights that DTV visas are generally not available for Thai language courses but can be obtained through programs like cooking schools or Muay Thai training. It also mentions the Discover Thai Nature seminars as a possible route, though acceptance varies by embassy.

Thai language courses do not qualify for DTV only ED visas. Cooking School and Muay Thai are the main "soft power" routes for DTV. There is this other thing called Discover Thai Nature seminars that people have been able to use, but I've read that not all embassies accept it.

OP
A. Nony Mous I understand that language courses don't qualify for DTV. TSL offers an additional program that they claim qualifies for the DTV because it includes cooking, muay Tai, cultural crafts, and outings. I was wondering if anyone had enrolled in that separate program instead of just the language program.
