It's taken longer than planned but I gave it a month to be on safe side ,but I got approval yesterday for my DTV .

I mention it because I picked a cookery course in Udon Thani.

I have a lady friend near there .It's 5 hours Saturday and Sunday which suits me as well.Hope this helps somebody else who is looking at courses away from the bigger cities in future 🙏

Thank You for your helpful report 👍

Congratulations 👏👏👏

PRINT OUT THE EMAIL THAT HAS YOUR DTV VISA.

That's what you should do... print it out.

You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight ✈️ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.

Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.

YES... Check with your Embassy in Bangkok... or several Thai Visa Agents are known to be helpful.. SUCH as Key Visa in Pattaya is known for prompt handling of passport renewals.
